Central Postal Ladies Organisation (CPLO) is a registered society under the Societies Registration Act of 1860. CPLO was registered on 19th June 1986 with the aim and objective to promote, encourage & coordinate the work for the economic uplift, mutual assistance, self-reliance and general wellbeing of the postal families especially women & children. Another important aim was to organise institutional support to working women and their children by setting up crèches, schools, children's clubs, canteens etc. All these activities are undertaken by CPLO under its brand name 'SANCHARIKA'. CPLO believes that a call for doing good rests within each one of us.

CPLO's activities during Covid lockdown 2020:

On seeing the helpless and hungry migrants during the nationwide covid-lockdown of 2020, CPLO expanded its mandate and started the Covid-19 relief work for migrants and informal labour force. We carried out food distribution drives, supplying 375 quintals of dry ration and 30,000 cooked meals around Delhi, NCR stretching all the way till Muradnagar. In addition CPLO mass produced reusable cloth masks and supplied 75,000 of these for free to postal and medical frontline workers.
