AIPEU, Group-C, Bhubaneswar Divisional branch to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of NFPE at Divisional level on 2nd November, 2014.

Dear Comrades,

As you know, the P & T Trade Union Movement initiated in the name of a Postal Club in Kolkatta GPO with support of 150 employees only during 1905 latter became recognized as National Federation of Post and Telegraph Employees (NFPTE) on 24^th November, 1954 after years of uncompromised struggles and sacrifices for the benefit of the whole working class in general and P & T employees in particular. Consequent upon separation of the Department to Department of Posts and Department of Telecommunications in February, 1986, NFPTE was bifurcated to National Federation of Postal Employees (NFPE) and National Federation of Telecom Employees (NFTE). With its glorious history and tradition, NFPE is committed and determined to serve the Postal Workers to improve their economic and service conditions. It also continues to serve as the vanguard of the Central Government employees’ movement as a whole.   

The NFPE has entered its 60^th years of existence on 24^th November, 2013 and in commemoration, the Diamond Jubilee Celebration has been inaugurated in New Delhi on the very day. All the affiliated unions of NFPE are now celebrating the Diamond Jubilee in respective Divisions / Regions / Circles and the concluding ceremony will be organized in Dwaraka by the comrades of Gujarat Circle on 24^th November, 2014.
