INDIA POSTS’ STATEWIDE NETWORK TO BE USED FOR SCHEME
Sakala is set to benefit villages with the State government and the Department of Posts signing a Memorandum of Understanding to implement the programme utilising its Statewide network of over 8,500 post offices, on Friday.
The scheme aims to standardise and simplify citizen service delivery systems, and will be implemented after training the postal staff.
According to the agreement signed between Sakala Mission Director Shalini Rajneesh and Chief Postmaster General M.S. Ramanujan, online services under Sakala would be delivered through 1,700 major post offices. The service will first be implemented in 49 offices on a pilot basis. Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister T.B. Jayachandra, who inaugurated a workshop titled ‘Advantage Citizens-2 years of Sakala’, said Chief Minister Siddaramaiah wanted to enhance the level of commitment of the bureaucracy to increase efficiency so that pro-poor measures could be implemented quickly.

Later, speaking to presspersons, Ms. Rajneesh said the scheme would be introduced in 500 post offices immediately and in 1,000 more after three months.
