GDS Committee Secretary requested for the

 Socio-economic survey of BOs - regarding 

names of BOs to include in the sample survey

Dear Friends,

            The GDS Committee is proposing to conduct a socio-economic survey of selected Branch post offices and Gramin Dak Sevaks to collect the information.  For the purpose, a sample size of 1500 Branch Post offices have been identified, with proportionate representation, with the help of the Circles.

Since the Committee considers Federations / Unions as important stakeholders in the entire process, it is decided that approximately 10% of the BOs which will be surveyed should be identified by Federations / Unions. 

In view of the above, it is requested to kindly send names of two BOs from each Circle (maximum 50) to include them in the sample size.  The BOs selected should be representative of the overall existing conditions of BOs in the country. The names should reach us by 14.4.2016 in the following format, as we have planned a work shop for nodal officers from the Circles on 19.4.16 at RAKNPA. 

Name of the BO
Name of the division and region
Name of the Circle

Regards
