In a first-of-its-kind initiative, Election Commission of India (ECI) today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with two prominent organizations, the Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) and the Department of Posts (DoP).
This step is taken to amplify its voter outreach and awareness efforts ahead of the forthcoming General Elections to Lok Sabha 2024.
The initiative is in continuation of ECI’s untiring efforts to enhance electoral awareness in the country.
Notably, ECI had recently signed an MoU with the Ministry of Education to formally integrate electoral literacy into the educational curriculum of schools and colleges.
The MoU was signed today in the presence of Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar and Election Commissioner Arun Goel.
Vineet Pandey Secretary, Department of Posts, Sunil Mehta, Chief Executive, IBA and other officials from Department of Posts, IBA and ECI were present on the occasion.
