Karnataka CM Announces Doorstep Caste Certificates and Deputy Tahsildar Powers

The Chief Minister of Karnataka, D.K. Shivakumar, announced two new initiatives to make government services easier for people.

First, caste certificates will be delivered for free to people's homes.

The government has already prepared digital copies of these certificates and will print and deliver them.

People can also download their certificates using a special app or from government websites.

Second, lower-level officials called Deputy Tahsildars will now be able to issue permanent residence certificates, which should make the process faster and more convenient.

The goal is to make sure people don't have to visit multiple government offices to get important documents.

The government wants to ensure that everyone, including those who are marginalized, can access services easily and without delay.
