Subject: Renaming of the Postal Staff College India.
A proposal for change in the name of the Postal Staff College India (PSCI)
was placed before the Postal Services Board. The Board, in its sixth
meeting held on 21.09.2011, after detailed discussion, has agreed that
in order to reflect the true character of the institution and its future
aspiration, PSCI needs to be upgraded as a National Academy. The Board
has, accordingly recommended that PSCI be renamed after Shri Rafi
Ahmed Kidwal, the first Communication Minister of Independent India, a
freedom fighter and one of the foremost nation builders of the post
independence era as “Rafi Ahmed Kidwai National Postal Academy (RAKNPA)”. The recommended actions of the Board have been approved by the Competent Authority.
2. It
is, therefore, hereby notified for information of all concerned that
the Postal Staff College India, C.G.O. Complex Ghazibad 201 002, and
will hereafter be known as Rafi Ahmed Kidwai National Postal Academy (RAKNPA), C.G.O. Complex, Ghaziabad – 201 002.
