Within the next couple of days the district administration will achieve the target of issuing 2 lakh caste certificates.
Getting caste certificates was a major problem before Trinamul Congress came to power in 2011. The people belonging to SC and ST categories had to run from pillar to post to get caste certificates. As they could not get caste certificates on time, they had to forgo many facilities. Babulal Mahato, SDO (sadar) Jhargram said forms needed to get caste certificates were sent to the beneficiaries. Once they fill up the forms, they are verified and the certificates are issued.
