The World Thrift Day is celebrated every year to promote the importance of saving money.
The department’s Field Publicity Officer Jotho Yun urged the people to invest their hard-earned money in small savings schemes “and take part in the state-building process.”
He said that “50 per cent of the net collections under small savings are invested in development of the state by the finance ministry as long-term soft loans.”
Yun also highlighted the salient features of various small savings products, and advised the public to take advantage of the services offered by the post offices.
