India Post to launch coffee flavoured stamp

Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Friday said that Indian post department is releasing a stamp with Coffee flavour soon. 

"Coffee flavoured stamp will be released by India Post on April 23," Sitharaman tweeted.


In another tweet she mentioned that the release will take place in Bengaluru.


Telecom Minister Manoj Sinha will be releasing the stamp which will be a collector's version, and it will be priced at Rs 100.

Earlier in the day, she stressed on the need for branding Indian Coffee and said the Coffee Board now has to be on its toes in this regard.

She said branding is now one way of ensuring that the market is going to be sustained.

The Minister was speaking after distributing soil health card and launching of a web portal,an initiative of the Coffee Board, towards soil fertility appraisal and soil health monitoring in traditional Coffee growing regions, here.

"Today is an age of branding,we need to brand everything, we need to sell everything, we need to have high profile marketing for everything to even reach the lower end of the pyramid," Sitharaman said.

She said "promotion of Coffee, branding of different coffee should go with a lot more hype. There is a lot of creativity we need to (put) in taking coffee further."

Noting that countries like Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar have done and are doing a lot of things in packaging, value addition, presenting and marketing of the coffee, she said "the Coffee Board obviously is now going to have to be on its toes."

Sitharaman called on the Board for a "breaking the usual trodden path" kind of an approach in branding and marketing of Indian Coffee.

Pointing out at Araku, a new coffee growing area in northern Andhra Pradesh, a hilly tribal area which produces a "good quality" Arabica coffee, she said they have a posh outlet in Paris for Araku coffee.

"I did ask the Coffee board where are we? If Araku on its own can go to Paris, Coffee Board should have pushed itself and said I will market Coorg Coffee. We should brand it."

Sitharaman said newer coffee growing areas have a great deal of enthusiasm and the kind of energy that they have is fantastic, adding that Uttarakhand is growing good coffee, while Himachal Pradesh is attempting to get into coffee with Arabica variety.





Expressing confidence that there would be expansion in growing area under coffee in India and there is immense opportunity, she also conceded that "we have not been able to get solution to white stem borer problem that Coffee growers are facing."





"I am pursuing with the Agriculture Research Institutes across the country on this," she added.





Sitharaman said the reach of the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana will be applicable to even small coffee growers and pointed out that according to information provided to her, about 98 per cent are small growers.

Postal department's initiatives revive art of letter writing

The postal department has launched an initiative to revive the art of letter writing. Travelling Letter Box (TLB), an initiative of the department of posts, promises to deliver the letter the same day for short distances. All one has to do is to drop the letter in a box in one of the five short-haul trains. 

Charles Lobo, chief postmaster general, Karnataka Circle, on Tuesday said the department started the TLB concept on February 13. It is available in Madras Mail, Rani Chennamma Express, Netravathi Express, Hubballi-Vijaywada and Bengaluru-Coimbatore trains. "This has become popular and every day at least 200 letters are carried on every train. This service is limited to those trains which carried mails before too," Lobo said. 

On the selection of these particular trains, Lobo said, "Earlier, these trains used to carry mails in sacks. The mails were sorted at the stations before being dispatched to individuals. As people know their destination, one can drop the letter in the TLB in the train to ensure quick delivery." 

To tap the young generation in an era of digitisation, the department is popularising Post Cross, an online pen pal club. 

"It started 10 years ago. We are aggressively promoting it now. One can register on the post crossing website, become pen friends with others across the globe and send picture postcards. There are 6.7 lakh members globally, of which over 1,000 are from Bengaluru alone," Lobo said. Earlier, Lobo released three special postal covers on the occasion of World Heritage Day. The covers include Keerthinarayana temple in Talakad, Hoysaleshwara temple in Halebeedu and Chennakeshava temple in Belur. S Rajendra Kumar, postmaster general, South Karnataka region and Arun Raj T, superintending archaeologist, Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), Bengaluru Circle, were present. 

Raj said the postal department and ASI were tying up to promote archaeology. Lobo said during the period of Mysuru Anche, postmen also worked for the intelligence machinery. 

"As they travel long distances and visit remote villages, postmen would bring information from everywhere. But this stopped over the years. Even now, they can help in collecting information and preserving heritage sites," he said.
