LEH, Sept 19: In a significant step towards making essential government services more accessible to people in remote areas of Ladakh, Lieutenant Governor, Vinai Kumar Saxena, has empowered Naib-Tehsildars, holding independent charge of a Tehsil, to issue Reserved Category Certificates and Income Certificates within their respective local jurisdiction.
The decision aims to reduce the difficulties faced by residents, particularly those living in remote and far-flung areas, who otherwise have to travel long distances to obtain certificates required to access various government schemes, benefits, reservations, and other services. By decentralising the certification process, the Administration seeks to make these services more accessible, convenient, and responsive to citizens' needs.
The initiative forms part of the Administration's broader effort to take governance and public services closer to the people, particularly those residing in geographically remote and difficult-to-access areas of the Union Territory. |
