Pratima Mandal speaks during Zero Hour in LS on rural post offices
Madam more than 20 years back my father had donated an office room to open a post office in his village with the intention to motivate and encourage poor villages to use the facilities of post offices and at the same time to protect them from the private moneylenders.
Being a public representative of a rural constituency, I have experienced that most of the rural post offices are running either at the house of postmaster or at some villager’s house.
I would like to ask the Hon’ble Minister, through you, Madam, whether the ministry has conducted any survey to know the actual number of post offices running in such a manner and what steps have been taken in this regard.
