Dated 25.9.20L4

To
         All Chief Post Masters General 

Subject:- Appointment of Postal Assistants/Sorting Assistants by direct recruitment. 

Sir/Madam,

I am directed to refer to this Directorate's letter of even No.60-9/2009-SPB-| dated 08.05.2012 on the above mentioned subject and to say that earlier, after the completion of pre-appointment formalities the candidates selected for appointment of PA/SA were required to undergo training in PTCs before they could be appointed. It often caused delay in making the offer of appointments because of non-availability of seats with the PTCs with the result that the selected candidates found opportunities elsewhere and ultimately a good percentage of them did not become available for appointment and thet vacancies remained unfilled. Therefore, in the above cited letter dated 08.05.20L2 there is no such condition that the candidates selected for appointment of PA/SA are required to undergo training in PTCs before they could be appointed. 

2.         In view of the above, the Circles should take immediate action to ensure that the pre-appointment formalities of the selected candidates are completed at the earliest. For that matter, the Circles should liaison with the concerned authorities in the States so that the pre-appointment formalities are completed at the earliest. lf need be, CPMsG may use their good offices to expedite the completion of formalities. 

3.         On completion of the pre-appointment formalities, the candidates may straightaway be issued offer of appointment by the Circles. This would motivate them to join as PA/SA immediately. Thereafter, when they join, they may be deputed for training as soon as the slots become available in the PTCs. Pending their training in PTCs, the Circles shall issue their posting orders and commence their in-house training chalking out course, as far as possible, based on the PTC syllabus depending on the resources available with them. The in house training that may be imparted to the candidates by the Circles shall in no way be treated as substitute for the formal training to be imparted by PTCs. Till they are trained by PTCs, they may not be detailed on sensitive seats nor deputed to man the counters and may be posted in back office etc. under effective supervision.

Yours faithfully,

sd/-

and dignity of all human beings¨.

     The international recognition that women have a

 right to a life free from violence is a recent one. 

Historically, their struggles with violence, and with 

the impunity that oftenprotects the perpetrators, is 

linked with their fight to overcome discrimination .

Four Fundamental Forces In Nature 

There are four fundamental forces in nature that govern the diverse phenomena of the macroscopic and microscopic world. These different type of forces are:

• Gravitational force
• Electromagnetic force
• Strong nuclear force
• Weak nuclear force

The unification of different forces/domains in nature is a basic quest in physics, the gravitational force is the force of mutual attraction between any two object's by virtue of their masses. It is a universal force. The electromagnetic force is the force between charged particles. The strong nuclear force is the force between protons and neutrons. The weak nuclear force appears only in certain nuclear processes such as beta-decay of nucleus.

Lessons to Learn from the Life of Mahatma Gandhi

Here are a few key lessons Gandhi left behind in the most significant life he led, for his country, his people and rest of the world.

Humanity and faith
Gandhi said: "Have faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the whole ocean does not become dirty". His faith in the basic 'goodness' of people remained undeterred throughout his life, which remained largely in the midst of followers and opponents.

Be the change
While Gandhi turned an unlikely leader of something as massive as a freedom movement, it didn't happen overnight. He remained open to both sides of any argument and faced everything with a smile. No matter what the challenge was, his goal of 'Indian independence' remained clear. Like he said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." 

Preserving the self
Gandhi firmly believed he was in control of his emotions. His friends vouched for this quality of his. He ensured the goal was in sight. And that ego wouldn't rule the roost. He often said: "no one can hurt me without my permission".

Forgive
He had imbibed the best of Indian philosophy. Non-violence was his strongest weapon, and so was forgiveness. He told the world often that forgiving was the quality of the strong, and not the weak. "An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind" he said and liberated his fellow men from anger.

Practice what you preach
Advice is more easily available land or air today. Gandhi firmly believed actions speak louder than words. He remained in control of both his actions and words. "An ounce of practice is worth a thousand words" is what he lived by.

Now is all that you have
An English adage says 'cross the bridge when it comes'. Gandhi lived by the essence of 'today' and not what fate would befall on him tomorrow. With the goal clearly before him, he would often look at what could be done now, than later.

Never say Never
He was well aware of the possibilities and limitations of human beings. He said once "It is unwise to be too sure of one's own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err."

Stay on; don't give up
Challenges often encouraged him to go that extra mile, put in that extra effort and reach further clarity on how things were to be executed for the goal to be reached. Self-doubt often made him stronger and he came back renewed, rejuvenated and with bigger dreams than before for the country. "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win".

Keep away the evil
Look for best qualities in people and grow with every person you meet. Gandhi was aware that he wasn't faultless himself. "I will not probe into the faults of others. I only look for goodness in them" he reiterated often.

Coherence in thought and action
Happiness is where there is no conflict within self about what is preached and followed. There are no different rules for self and the world. Happiness is when your thoughts, actions and words align - this was something that he firmly believed in all his life.
