Postal Life Insurance Scheme for Girl Child and Women

For a family, having a child plan is a vital requirement, as it helps the parents to meet the educational and marriage expenses of their child. With an emphasis on the women empowerment and girl child education, the new government has made a sincere effort at designing women and girl child oriented schemes to safeguard their present and have a bright future ahead, regardless of life’s atrocities. Often, insurance companies sell customized plans, but now the government organizations; such as, the Postal Department has jumped the bandwagon and has designed competitive child plans with the sole focus on women and girl child.

This new move made by the Indian Postal Department will significantly improve the status of the women especially in the rural areas. Being in their nascent stage, these schemes will offer great financial help in bringing up the girl child. Although, the scheme will take some time to get started, but it will not be long before these plans will be executed on full scale.

National Award winner Anjali Devasher, member Postal Services Board confirmed that the schemes will be in effect, once they are implemented across all the seven pilot circles. It is about time something like this came up in the patriarchal society.

The Postal Life Insurance plan was first launched in 1884 exclusively for the post office employees. However, today the scheme is available to all the employees of the Central and State governments giving the citizens a better option to provide for their daughters and women.
