Village post office (subpost office) exists in those villages or small towns, where the mainstream of Anchal offices does not function.
These Village mail offices started as an experimental posthub with unnumbered 'വി' (V) obliterators and if it the office found to be financially viable within a stipulated period of time, will be made permananent and supplied with a numeral 'V' seal to function as a full fledged office.
It is found that Village postoffices were seen operating in 107 villages throughout the state of Travancore in their short period of existence.. till 1915.
And of this 107, only 28 offices were given the numbered obliterators (from 1 to 27, and 102).
Still remains an enigma as to why this gap between V-27 and V-102.
It's been seen that few Anchal post office with 'തി' obliterator got converted to Village office in later period.
And Village post offices, in few areas, in their early stages as an experimental office were also known to function in school offices, traditional Manas, business outlets etc etc.
Malayalam numericals from 1 to 10.
