Assam Issues Dual Caste Certificates for Tea Garden Communities

Assam Issues Dual Caste Certificates for Tea Garden Communities

The Assam government is giving tea garden workers and their families a new option for their caste certificates.

This means they can now get certificates under two different categories, like OBC or MOBC.

This change is meant to help these communities, who have faced challenges.

The government hopes this will give them more rights and help them get the support they need.

To make sure things are fair, a special committee will review some applications.

Certificates will be easier to get through an online system.

This should help many families in Assam who are part of the tea garden communities.
