Hyderabad, August 2, 2015
Union Labour Minister Bandaru Dattatreya on Saturday
promised to take up with the Central government the request of India
Post to double up as employment exchanges and data collection centres
for agricultural produce in rural areas.
The Minister
held a meeting with representatives of Income Tax, BSNL and postal
departments here on Saturday to invite their suggestions for better
performance in TS and AP. At a media conference that followed, Mr.
Dattatreya said he will support integration of employment exchange with
postal department in the two States. “There are a total of 16,155 post
offices in the two States and these could act as franchises of
employment exchanges.
Currently, just a few
employment exchanges are managing the bulk of details of unemployed
people in each of the States in the country,” he said. Post offices
could also serve as data collection centres for farm produces in each of
the districts.
“India Post in the two States has
agreed to compile list of farm produce on a website for customers from
urban areas to buy without the support of middlemen,” the Minister said.
