India Post Mobile Theatre Van Campaign for Dak Chaupal inaugurated on 14 October at Navrangpura Head Post Office, Ahmedabad, with the objective of enhancing public awareness about postal services, promoting financial inclusion, and taking the Department’s various citizen-centric services to the last mile. On the occasion, Member of Parliament, Ahmedabad West, Shri Dineshbhai Makwana, inaugurated the Dak Chaupal and flagged off the Mobile Theatre Van along with Chief Postmaster General, Gujarat Circle, Shri Ganesh V. Sawaleshwarkar, and Postmaster General, North Gujarat Region, Shri Krishna Kumar Yadav. Passbooks and policy bonds were also distributed to beneficiaries of the Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana, Postal Life Insurance (PLI), and Rural Postal Life Insurance (RPLI). Director of Postal Services, Ms. Anubrata Das, and Senior Superintendent of Post Offices, Ahmedabad City Division, Shri Shishir Kumar, were also graced the function.
On this occasion, Member of Parliament, Shri Dineshbhai Makwana, said that the Mobile Theatre Van Campaign for Dak Chaupal would prove effective in taking the various services and public welfare schemes of the Department of Posts to every village and the last mile of society. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the country is scaling new heights of progress and development with the vision of “Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas.” It is essential to ensure that information about various government welfare schemes reaches the last mile of society so that more and more people can avail themselves of their benefits. Postal services have undergone significant transformation over time. Today, the India Post is not only delivering letters and parcels but also extending the benefits of various government welfare schemes to citizens. Under the ‘Government Services at Your Doorstep’ initiative, this campaign will play a significant role in raising public awareness, particularly in rural and remote areas, and establishing direct communication with citizens.
Chief Postmaster General, Gujarat Circle, Shri Ganesh V. Sawaleshwarkar, said that continuous efforts are being made to expand and modernise postal services and promote citizen-centric initiatives across Gujarat Circle. Through the vision of “Dak Sewa, Jan Sewa”, India Post is playing the role of a dedicated service centre by providing not only traditional postal services but also financial empowerment and a wide range of citizen-centric services. Under this campaign, the Mobile Theatre Van will travel to various designated locations in every district across Gujarat Circle, with a Dak Chaupal being organised at each stop. Through this initiative, rural citizens will be made aware of the various services, schemes and facilities offered by the Department of Posts. He further stated that Gujarat has been at the forefront at the national level in organising Dak Chaupal programmes on a large scale.
Postmaster General Shri Krishna Kumar Yadav said that, in the changing landscape, the Department of Posts is playing a vital role in promoting financial inclusion, Digital India and Antyodaya. From villages to cities, and from remote areas to the farthest corners of the country, India Post has established a strong bond of trust, connectivity and service in people’s lives. The primary objective of Dak Chaupal is to bring the Department of Posts closer to the public and connect people with its diverse services. India Post is an integral part of the country’s social and economic framework. The journey from “Dakiya Dak Laya” to “Dakiya Bank Laya” reflects the Department’s evolving role, technological advancement and unwavering commitment to public service.
The program was also attended by Senior Superintendent of Post Offices, Gandhinagar Division, Shri Shubham Dongardive, Assistant Director Ritul Gandhi, Varis Vahora, Siraj Mansuri; IPPB AGM Sandip Kumar; Chief Manager Abhijit Jibhkate; Assistant Superintendent Arvind Raman, Ramesh Patel, Ronak Shah; Inspector Payal Patel, Senior Postmaster, Navrangpura M.
