PRAYAGRAJ: High school and Intermedia­te students will not need to run to their schools or to the office of the UP Board for their certificat­e, marksheet, or their duplicate copies, anymore.

These would now be available at Jan Suvidha Kendras or Common Service Centres located in every gram panchayat spread across the state.

Likewise, anybody can get duplicate copies of these documents, or incorporat­ing correction­s in marksheets, will also be done at the nearest Jan Seva Kendras, Jan Suvidha Kendras and e-Suvidha Kendras set up in most localities of every district of the state. In a bid to make these tasks easy and simple, the state government has decided to include these services of the UP Board, among a host of similar services being provided at these centres, through the e-district portal under ‘Janhith Guarantee’ services, said UP Board secretary Neena Srivastava. She said that orders in this regard have been issued to all commission­ers and district magistrate­s by the state government through a missive issued on October 12.

Through the missive issued by UP secretary (secondary education) Sandhya Tiwari, a copy of which has also been sent to the UP Board headquarte­rs in Allahabad, the state government has listed nine specific services of the UP Board that would be now be provided through these citizen service centres, she added.

“These include the decision on issuing original certificat­e, duplicate certificat­e, original marksheet, duplicate marksheet, corrected certificat­e, corrected marksheet, disposal of cancelled and withheld results and decision on incomplete/erroneous results,” she explained.

The missive makes plain that these services will be available as soon as they become integrated with the e-district portal, as per the set user charge prescribed by the government for each transac- tion. However, the user charge will be payable only if the user goes through the e-district portal and not if he/she directly does so using the UP Board’s own portal.

The DMs and commission­ers have been instructed to ensure complete integratio­n of these services with the e-district portals.

Common service centres are envisioned as the front-end delivery points for government, private and social sector services for citizens of India.

The idea is to develop a platform that will enable government, private and social sector organisati­ons to align their social and commercial goals for the benefit of the public even in the remotest corners of the country through a combinatio­n of IT-based, as well as non-IT-based services.
