Malbazar Launches One-Stop Documents Service for Newborns
Malbazar has started a new service for families with newborn babies.
Parents can get three important documents at one government office.
These are a birth certificate, an Aadhaar card and a caste certificate.
Before, families often had to visit several offices to get them.
Some parents live far from those offices, and travel can be difficult.
Officials launched the service as a pilot project.
At the launch, parents of nine children received the documents.
The district administration says it plans to expand the service across Jalpaiguri.
