Dehradun, 8 May: On the instructions of Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami, guidelines have been issued that, in view of the need for participation in competitive examinations, students studying in class 11 and 12 in all the schools of the state should be made available all the documents related to permanent residence, caste, income and other necessary certificates at the schools, itself, so that they do not have to run after them in order to become eligible to appear in various examinations.
In this regard, Secretary Shailesh Bagoli has issued guidelines to all the District Magistrates of the state, saying that in order to make it convenient for the students, all the necessary certificates regarding permanent residence, domicile, income certificate of the family and caste certificates be made available to them in the schools.
This will be done under the initiative named Apno School, Apno Praman. On the direction of the CM, Bagoli has issued orders that a committee should be formed at the district level under the chairmanship of the District Magistrate, including the Chief Education Officer. The number of students studying in classes 11 and 12 will be assessed by the committee at the district level. At the tehsil level, a committee constituted under the chairmanship of the Deputy Collector will get the date-wise roster prepared by the teams (Patwari/Lekhpal/Qanungo and data entry operator of CSC) visiting the school. An action plan will be prepared by determining the time frame for the process of issuing residence, character, income and hill certificates and other certificates. Weekly monitoring of the said programme will be done at the district level.
After issuing the certificate and after receipt of necessary fee/documents, the said certificate will be compulsorily made available to the Principal of the school concerned within a week for distribution to the students. Effective monitoring of the entire proceedings will be done by the District Level Committee in coordination with all Deputy District Magistrates, Tehsildars and Block Education Officers. In the case of any problem/difficulty arising, necessary guidelines will be issued on the basis of urgency to those concerned at the level of the committee.
