The Odisha government has issued strict directives to district collectors to ensure timely issuance of caste, residence, and income certificates for students seeking admission. Additional Chief Secretary Dr. Arabinda Padhee warned of disciplinary action against revenue officials for unnecessary delays. Under the ORTPSA Act, applications must be processed within set timelines, specifically limiting field verification for caste certificates by Revenue Inspectors to three days. Higher officials like Sub-Collectors and Collectors will conduct regular reviews to ensure no student misses admission due to certificate delays. https://sambad.in/state/odisha-certificate-issuance-for-student-admission-no-delay-action-against-officials-11936444 #creator program
