India Post may be selected for outsourcing
IMG Khan, Secretary to the Department of Posts aid the Universal Postal Union (UPU) is likely to prefer India’s Department of Posts, one of the biggest postal services in the world, for outsourcing postal services across the world.
In his inaugural address after laying the foundation stone for the Technology Development Centre on the Postal Training Centre campus here, Khan said he held talks with the Director General of Universal Postal Union, Switzerland, and informed him that the Union could decentralise its services to India.
“The India Post is capable of taking the challenge and help provide technology services, maitain and implement them,” he stated. The secretary said the software technology developed at the PTC in Mysore had gone overseas.
Soon, the South Asia Postal Union will come into existence. India will be in a position to offer more technological solutions and services for the World when the Technology Development Centre in Mysore operates to its full strength.
The Director General of Universal Postal Union was positive on India’s strengths. The UPU, in all probability, will decentralise its services to India Post soon, he hoped.
