Pipili: 18/11/23:In order to give a boost to India Post, the Central government plans to open 500-600 post offices in Odisha, said Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

Speaking to media persons after inaugurating the sub-post office at Durgadaspur in Pipili area of Puri district on Saturday, Dharmendra said as part of the Centre’s move to strengthen the departments that have turned almost defunct, the operations of Indian Post have been diversified to cater to various needs of the people.

“Apart from serving as courier offices, the post offices now function as banks to help mobilisation of investment. Keeping this in view, computerisation of the post offices across the country is going on. Besides, the Centre has planned to open the post offices in remote corners of the country,” he added.
