It has been 167 years since India Post has been serving people and the country. It has been pivotal to women empowerment in the country.
Taking it as a theme, India Post’s Republic Day tableau will showcase women empowerment. Not only it is a model employer for women but almost 50 per cent of account holders - India Post Payments Bank as well as the Post Office Savings Bank – are women.
Talking about India’s post theme, the Ministry of Communications, said, “India Post has been serving the nation since the last 167 years, standing unabated in its dedication and undying passion of rendering postal, financial and government services, in the remotest corners of the country. As the nation celebrates Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, commemorating the seventy-fifth year of independence, India Post, through the Republic-Day tableaux, has attempted to reaffirm its commitment towards women empowerment both within and through the Post offices.”
It added, “The tableau displays the robust outreach and the modern face of India Post that ties the entire country in one thread and aims to portray its focus on women empowerment through the ‘All Women Post Offices’. Divyang friendly post offices as portrayed by the ramp reiterate our social commitments.”
By showing a woman with a postman’s bag in one hand and a digital device in another hand, it conveys a message of blending technology with tradition, thus showing the modern face of the country.
“The image of the postwoman is juxtaposed with that of the Harkara on high relief projecting the transition of India Post over the decades. The two images are set in the foreground of the ubiquitous red-letter box,” the Ministry said.
