NREGS wages paid through PO savings accounts

16 lakh NREGS accounts already opened

Current target: 1 crore. Final target: 2 crore

JAIPUR: The village post offices, slowly losing ground to the highly competitive private enterprises both in savings accounts and delivery of letters, are busy once again thanks to the National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS). The scheme, launched last April in all the districts of the country, has a provision for payment of NREGS wages through the post office savings accounts.
