Department of Posts offers many Products and Services, however they do not reach to the interior villages and therefore the public there are not aware of the departmental products available for them. As we are aware that there is cut throat competition and due to unawareness of the Postal Products there is possibility of such public approaching other organisations and competitors. Hence, the Department of Posts has initiated to make available all such Products and Services at village level by forming strategies, marketing and publicising them under FIVE STAR VILLAGES. Branch Offices will work as one stop shop to cater all the post office related needs of villagers.
The concept of the FIVE STAR VILLAGES will be to ensure 100 percent coverage of all below mentioned postal schemes to every households in a village. If any village completes four schemes from
below, then that village gets four-star status, if any village completes three schemes from below, then that village get three-star status and so on.
(i) account of SB Accounts or RD Accounts or Time Deposit Account or MIS Accounts or NSC/KVP Certificates
(ii) Sukanya Samridhi Accounts/ PPF Accounts
(iii) Funded POSA linked IPPB Accounts
(iv) Postal Life Insurance Policy/Rural Postal Life Insurance Policy
(v) Pradhan Mantri Suraksha Bima Yojana Account/Pradhan
