Dear Comrades,

The first 'all women post office' of Jharkhand was inaugurated in Jamshedpur on Wednesday. "The decision to open such post offices across the country was taken on International Women's Day. The services provided by the postal department has become multifarious worldwide now," Chief Post Master General of Jharkhand A S Prasad said after inaugurating the 'all women post office' at Sakchi in Jamshedpur.

He said one such post office would be opened in all the divisions of the state soon and postal department would sign a MoU with agencies concerned to distribute solar lamps through the post offices.

Postal department was also in the process of providing core-banking solution services tentatively from the middle of September, he said. Prasad said that Instant Money Order (IMO) launched about two years ago could not pick up as yet. IMO was mainly aimed to protect the money of the migrant laborers of the country and 225 post offices of the country were uploaded with the facility, he said.
