Hon’ble Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel, released a Special Cover and cancellation on ‘Dak Chaupal’

The Department of Posts is organizing 'Dak Chaupal' in every district to deliver essential and citizen-centric government services to the public. A Special Cover and cancellation on ‘Dak Chaupal’ was released by the Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel at the New Sachivalaya, Swarnim Sankul, Gandhinagar on 12.08.2024 to create awareness and inspire people about ‘Dak Chaupal’ in Gujarat. The Postmaster General, Ahmedabad Headquarter Region, Shri Krishna Kumar Yadav and Senior Superintendent of Post Offices, Gandhinagar Division Shri Piyush Rajak, were also present on this occasion.

Chief Minister Shri Bhupendrabhai Patel appreciated the 'Dak Chaupal' initiative, stating that ‘Dak Chaupal’ would serve as an important link between the public and government services, reducing barriers related to distance and accessibility. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister, there have been many positive changes in the role of the Postal Department. This initiative aims to bring essential government and citizen-centric services to the farthest reaches of society, benefiting the people of Gujarat and all beneficiaries. It will also facilitate access to various social and welfare schemes at both central and state levels under one roof.

Postmaster General, Ahmedabad Headquarter Region, Shri Krishna Kumar Yadav told that on August 15, along with the hoisting of the national flag on Independence Day at every post office, people will be made aware of various government welfare schemes and their benefits through 'Dak Chaupal'. Various ‘Dak Chaupal’ events are being organized across Gujarat to connect the last mile in society with the concept of Digital India, financial inclusion, and Antyodaya. These events will include awareness about government services like financial services, insurance, payments bank services, DBT, e-commerce, and export services under the initiative 'Government Services at Your Doorstep'.
