online or offline People express agony after waiting for hours to get Application forms for Postal Assistant Exam, after the staff informed them that there was no stock! They fel t the application process should be made online. India Post, which falls under Ministry of Communication & Information Technology , recently called for applications for the post of Postal Assistants for filling about 400 posts Nationally. The staff express their helplessness that only a few hundred application forms c omes for a week to the Head Post Offices which in turn will also be distributed to Branch Offices in the districts after dispatching to the applicants. The application forms are sold out as soon as they reach the HPOs and there's a scene of chaotic scarcity every now and then. Mr. Anand, an office clerk working in a private organisation in Trichy who had taken leave in Loss Of Pay to get t he application forms expressed that, his day is ruined. The officials compromise d the mob to call the office Landline Number 0431-2415619 and verify whether the application forms are available in HPO before coming to the office. A colleague interrupted the staff who had given the number and warned her, it would not be a good idea, since people will call every now and then, which will result in hec tic head ache for all of them in the office. Few furious men who have cut the classes from their colleges to get the applicat ion forms, suggested that the application process should be made Online, to make the procedure simple and efficient. They also questioned "Is it not possible fo r a Central Government Public Sector Organisation to use the available technolog y to bring it Online, even if State Government uses the methods efficiently?", m entioning TNPSC application process. Mr. Balagurusami, a Class X Social Science teacher in a State Board School commented on the issue that "This is a planned s tep to filter and cut short the Number of Applicants in the initial stage, which in turn will reduce the burden of conducting examination for a large group of p eople" Later a week, the official site of India Post, http://indiapost.gov.in notified that candidates can apply online for the post of Postal Assistant in the website http://www.examinationonline.in/dop/ . It claimed that registered candidates wi ll receive their applications with in 24 hours. But not a single person I know p ersonally or in the cyber world reported that he or she got the application thro ugh mail. Being 25th September 2012 is the last date for receiving the applicati ons in the respective offices, people express despair on the inefficiency of Ind ian Government for not taking any serious action. People are wasting their time letting go in vain, expecting the applications will show up someday. Need some solution? Want to discuss?
