Varanasi: The women from Son Chiraiya Self-Help Group and the Gulabo Mata SHG in Varanasi handed over a packet of rakhis to the Post Master General of Varanasi region, Colonel Vinod Kumar, on Thursday to be sent to soldiers stationed at various borders of the country.
These women earn their livelihood through various organisations under the Deendayal Livelihood Scheme (Urban).
Colonel Vinod said that last year only 3,000
rakhi
envelopes were sold, but this year, over one lakh rakhi envelopes were purchased in just 15 days. He informed the SHGs about the savings schemes of the post office and insurance plans on the occasion.
