राष्ट्रीय डाक कर्मचारी दिन २०२५: संचार व्यवस्थेचे नायक

डाक कर्मचारी आपल्या संचार व्यवस्थेचा आधारस्तंभ आहेत. डिजिटल युगातही, विशेषतः ग्रामीण आणि दुर्गम भागात, त्यांचे कार्य आजही अत्यंत महत्त्वाचे आहे. दरवर्षी १ जुलै रोजी राष्ट्रीय डाक कर्मचारी दिन साजरा केला जातो, ज्याद्वारे प्रत्येक ऋतूमध्ये अपार कष्ट घेऊन आपली पत्रे व पार्सल सुरक्षितपणे आणि वेळेवर पोहोचवणाऱ्या डाक कर्मचाऱ्यांच्या निष्ठा व समर्पणाचा सन्मान केला जातो.

राष्ट्रीय डाक कर्मचारी दिनाची सुरूवात प्रथम १९९७ मध्ये अमेरिकेतील सिएटल शहरात झाली. काही डाक कर्मचाऱ्यांच्या गटाने आपल्या सहकाऱ्यांच्या मेहनतीची कदर करण्यासाठी हा दिवस सुरू केला.

काळानुसार हा उत्सव लोकप्रिय झाला आणि हळूहळू संपूर्ण अमेरिकेत पसरला.

डाक सेवेची परंपरा शतकांपूर्वीपासून सुरू आहे.

• अमेरिकेत औपचारिक डाक वितरणाची सुरुवात १८व्या शतकात झाली.

• काळानुसार, डाक कर्मचाऱ्यांचे कार्य केवळ पत्र पोहोचवण्यापुरते न राहता औषधे, कायदेशीर नोटिसा, पेन्शन, आणि मतदार संबंधित माहिती पोहोचवण्यापर्यंत विस्तारले.

• डाक कर्मचारी अनेकांसाठी केवळ संचार माध्यम नसून, जीवनरेषाच ठरले.

राष्ट्रीय डाक कर्मचारी दिन हा सर्व डाक कर्मचारी — वाहक, लिपिक, छाटणी कर्मचारी, आणि सहाय्यक टीम — यांच्या प्रति कृतज्ञता व्यक्त करण्याचा दिवस आहे. प्रत्येक वितरणामागील त्यांचा घाम, संयम आणि जबाबदारीची आठवण करून देत, हा दिवस त्यांच्या समर्पणाला सलाम करण्याचे प्रतीक ठरतो.

GST Day 01/05/2025

GST replaced numerous domestic indirect taxes—including VAT, service tax, and excise duty—by unifying them into a single tax regime. Its implementation represents the largest tax reform in the history of independent India.

GST Day is observed every year on 1st July to commemorate the anniversary of GST’s implementation. The day recognizes the transformative impact of GST on India’s taxation landscape and celebrates the collective efforts of taxpayers, policymakers, and tax administrators in making this reform a success. 

Significance: Marks the launch of GST on 1st July 2017, symbolizing the simplification of India’s indirect tax system under the concept of “One Nation, One Tax.” 

Celebrating GST Day highlights the importance of a unified tax structure in improving ease of doing business, reducing tax cascading, and creating a common national market.

The Central Government of India introduced GST Day to acknowledge the successful implementation of GST. The first year of GST’s rollout in 2017 demonstrated taxpayers’ willingness to embrace this unprecedented reform, leading the government to designate 1st July as GST Day.

The first GST Day celebration took place on 1st July 2018, marking the one-year anniversary since GST came into force.

जागतिक मुद्रण दिन 24/02/2025

 जागतिक मुद्रण दिन (World Printing Day)

 

    जागतिक मुद्रण दिन हा मुद्रण तंत्रज्ञानाच्या योगदानाचा सन्मान करण्यासाठी साजरा केला जातो. मुद्रण हा मानवी संस्कृतीच्या विकासाचा एक महत्त्वाचा भाग आहे, कारण यामुळे ज्ञानाचा प्रसार, शिक्षणाचा विस्तार आणि माहितीचे संरक्षण शक्य झाले.

मुद्रणाचा इतिहास:

• १४४० मध्ये जोहान्स गुटेनबर्ग यांनी मुद्रण यंत्राचा शोध लावला, ज्यामुळे पुस्तक उत्पादन जलद आणि सुलभ झाले.
• मुद्रणामुळे शिक्षणाचा प्रसार झाला आणि माहिती सर्वसामान्य लोकांसाठी उपलब्ध झाली.
• आज डिजिटल तंत्रज्ञानामुळे ऑनलाइन मुद्रण आणि प्रकाशन शक्य झाले आहे.

मुद्रण दिनाचे महत्त्व:

1. ज्ञानाचा प्रसार – पुस्तके, वृत्तपत्रे आणि मासिकांद्वारे माहिती मोठ्या प्रमाणात लोकांपर्यंत पोहोचते.
2. शिक्षणाचा विकास – शालेय आणि महाविद्यालयीन पुस्तकांच्या माध्यमातून शिक्षण सर्वांसाठी उपलब्ध होते.
3. सांस्कृतिक जतन – ऐतिहासिक दस्तऐवज आणि साहित्य मुद्रणाच्या माध्यमातून जतन केले जातात.
4. डिजिटल मुद्रणाचे युग – आधुनिक काळात 3D प्रिंटिंग, ई-बुक्स आणि ऑन-डिमांड प्रिंटिंग तंत्रज्ञान विकसित झाले आहे.

मुद्रण तंत्रज्ञानाने मानवी समाजाला शिक्षण, संवाद आणि माहितीच्या प्रसारात महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान दिले आहे. डिजिटल युगातही मुद्रणाची महती कायम आहे, आणि त्यामुळेच जागतिक मुद्रण दिन साजरा केला जातो.
