- Similarly, now the announcement made by Nagar Panchayat or Municipal Council or General Assembly has been recognized as evidence in relation to caste and native place. Under this, the caste certificate will be issued by the competent authority as per the rules.
- After this order of the state government, now it has become easy for the people belonging to the Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and Backward Classes of the state to get the caste certificate (social status certificate).
