Back to old days of communication: This campaign will give you an essence of penning your thoughts on paper

New Delhi, August 17: Nowadays in this digital era, whatever you want to convey a message to someone then directly we take out our mobile and type and send a message from social media. Due to this, we have lost an essence of writing letters which were once an important medium for communication. So to promote the art of letter writing in the country, Dhai Akhar a National, as well as international Level Letter Writing Campaign, is a campaign organized by the Department of Posts.

 

The theme/topic of the Dhai Akhar Letter Writing Campaign is “Letter to my motherland” inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s “Amar Desher Mati”.

The letter can be written in English/Hindi/Local Language. The participants have to give a certificate of proof of their age on the letter such as “I certify that I am Below/above the age of 18 as on 01/01/2018”.

The letter can be written on plain A-4 size paper with a word limit of not more than 1000 words under envelope category, or in an Inland Letter Card (ILC) with a word limit of not more than 500 words for ILC category.

The embossed envelope/envelope with required stamp affixed and Inland Letter Card (ILC) will be the permitted stationery for participating in the campaign. Last Date for Submission has been deiced to be September 30.

The writer of the letter will have to go to the post office and post the letter in a specially designated letterbox. The letter, in the case of rural areas, may be brought to the local BO and posted. The BOs will dispatch it to their respective Account Office (HO/SO) duly entered in Account Bag for further dispatch to concerned Circle Office.

One of the attractions of this campaign is its price money which can be listed out below
