Prime Minister Narendra
Modi Wednesday said India's postal network has the potential to drive
the economy with its huge assets across the country that must be explored to
benefit the common man.
Reflecting on the findings of a task force
report on leveraging the post offices network, the prime minister said that
post offices in rural India could be used to deliver services and important
government information to individual households.
Following discussions on multiple aspects of
the report in a meeting attended by Minister for Communications and Information
Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad and task force chairman T.S.R. Subramanian, Modi called for a detailed examination
of the recommendations in the report within a short time to initiate necessary
follow-up actions, said an official release.
Subramanian, a former cabinet secretary,
submitted the report to the ministry of communications and information
technology in December last year.
