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.
