Dear Sir, I have been issued a caste certificate by the Tahsildar. The Caste certificate doesnot have any hologram whereas at the back of the certificate, it is clearly mentioned that "This certificate should not be accepted if this sheet is not watermarked and doesnot have hologram". The staff at the Tahsildar's office says that no hologram certificate is issued for Caste Certificates... Is this true?

The new Atalji Jansnehi Kendra Project has been launched in 777 Hobli centres across the state on 25.12.2012. The Nemmadi Project was started in 2006 by the e-Governance department on the PPP mode though 802 telecentres across State. Due to various problems experienced including lack of control over private partners, the Government decided to take over the Project completely and handover the same to the Revenue Department. Through this the Government envisaged that all the Revenue services would be accessible to the common man at the Hobli level through transparent, reliable and affordable means. These centres, meant for the electronic delivery of citizen services in rural areas were named as Atalji Janasnehi Kendras as per the Government order dated 18.12.2012.

The Atalji Janasnehi Kendra Project functions through 777 Atalji Janasnehi Kendras (Nadakacheris) and Additional Front Offices as notified by the Government from time to time. The Deputy Commissioners of the Districts will be the overall incharge of the project at the District Level. At the State level the Atalji Janasnehi Directorate has been created in the Revenue Department by the Government order dated 26.12.2012. The Commissioner Survey settlement and Land records is also designated as Director of the Project. The Directorate will monitor, facilitate, offer technical guidance and coordinate between various stake holders at the State Level
