About

India Posts’ Retired Officers’ Association is a voluntary organization formed  after having successfully completed the initial formalities in three sittings at the lounge at Dadar IQ on the followings dates: 1. 30/01/2015    2. 04/03/2015       3. 18/04/2015  The scope of the Association is for retired officers of India Posts, with particular focus towards those retired officers of Maharashtra Circle comprising States of Maharashtra and Goa. The concept of forming this Association is keep together the officers of the Department who have spent a life time while in service and who generally drift away as individual units after retirement in isolation of one’s own family. They need to have a community life more at this stage of their life and that is fulfilled by our Association by bringing together on a common platform so that they can continue their camaraderie with their longtime friends. The move is intended to bring together under one umbrella all those officers who retired from the Dept., of Posts. This gives us a sense of identity after the retirement that we are all bound by our long common link when we were in service. Such a long oneness we had in past shall continue post retirement too through this Association. Our gathering at regular intervals helps to keep the social bond built over decades of togetherness.Such Associations for our retired officers are functioning very successfully in many Postal Circles of India Posts, but not in our Circle. An attempt was made to appeal to our officers last year and we found favorable response in Mumbai. Hence this Association came into being.
