The government is planning to open All-Women Post Offices in rural areas - the first of their kind in the world as they would be completely operated and managed by women employees. This initiative is part of the government's objective to create opportunities for women in the country.
Telecom and IT Minister Kapil Sibal said, the Department of Post (DoP) has decided for women orientated branches where women will do jobs. The government will start the programme with urban centres and then slowly move to other areas. DoP has planned to set up at least three to four All-Women post offices in all the metros and a minimum of one such PO in Tier-II cities. These post offices will be opened up within next six months.
The DoP expects that by setting up All Women Post Offices, there will an increase in footfall of women customers at post offices and it will be able to promote thrift, especially among working women. There are 154,822 post offices in the country. Of these, 1,39,086 are in rural areas and 15,736 are in urban regions.
