The Common Service Centres across the district have so far issued 1,31,786 certificates to the public, particularly to the students pursuing higher studies.
To ensure hassle-free distribution of community, nativity, income, first generation graduate and deserted women certificates, the district administration introduced common service centres across the district through which the applicants got the certificates required after submitting relevant applications there.
The Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable Television Corporation, on its part, has opened e-service centres in all taluks where these centres issue plastic Aadhar cards. Formally inaugurating the distribution of plastic Aadhaar cards to the public at the e-service centre on the Collectorate premises on Friday, Dr. Karunakaran said the Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable Television Corporation’s e-service centres, which had been established in all taluks (except the newly formed Kadayanallur taluk office), were issuing a range of certificates to the public without troubling the applicants.
Moreover, payment of electricity bills, mobile phone recharge, addition and deletion of names in the electoral roll, online submission of passport applications, etc., were being done at the centres.
Those who had received their Aadhaar cards should tell the Aadhaar number and pay Rs. 30 for getting the plastic Aadhaar card.
Those who had got only the 14-digit acknowledgement number after their iris and fingerprints were scanned and were waiting for the card should pay Rs. 40 for getting the plastic card.
“After issue of plastic Aadhaar card commenced through the Tamil Nadu Arasu Cable Television Corporation’s e-service centres across the district, 513 plastic cards have been issued to the applicants. Since the centres will be functioning between 9.45 a.m. and 5.45 p.m. except on Sundays and government holidays, the public should utilise the services,” Dr. Karunakaran said.
On the performance of the Common Service Centres in the taluk offices under the administration of revenue department, the Collector said these centres had so far distributed 36,115 community certificates, 34,109 nativity certificates, 54,431 income certificates, 92 first generation graduate certificates and 11 deserted women certificates.
