In a meeting of secretaries, at the state secretariat in Amaravati on Friday, Chief Secretary Anil Chandra Punetha asked officials to issue necessary GO within fifteen days.

He said that to prevent inconvenience to students every year for getting certificates, the new certificate should be issued with a life-long validity.

The chief secretary said that the date of the birth certificate should be issued for life long valuation as there would be no changes and the income certificate should be issued for every four years as there would be a possibility in the change of income.

He said that the common man should not be troubled in the name of police verification for issuing certificates.
