Mumbai, June 22: In a major relief for students and parents, the Maharashtra Government has decided to provide essential certificates and documents directly at schools during the admission season. The move aims to eliminate the inconvenience faced by students and parents who often have to visit multiple offices and service centres to obtain required documents for school admissions.
The government observed that during the admission period, a large number of students require various certificates, resulting in overcrowding at Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendras. This often forces students to miss school hours and compels parents to make repeated visits to government offices.
To address this issue, the state government has directed that necessary certificates be made available at schools themselves. District Collectors across Maharashtra have been instructed to organize special camps in schools whenever required. Under this initiative, officials from local government bodies, Gram Panchayats, Taluka offices, or nearby Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendras will visit schools on designated days and process students’ certificate applications on priority.
Special drives will be conducted during peak admission periods to ensure that all students receive the required documents on time. The government has also emphasized coordination among education departments, local authorities, school administrations, and service centre operators for smooth implementation.
The initiative leverages the existing network of Aaple Sarkar Seva Kendras, established under the Central Government’s CSC 2.0 scheme, to make public services more accessible and student-friendly. The decision is expected to save valuable academic time and significantly reduce the burden on students and parents during admissions.
