Marking the celebrations of Chhattisgarh Rajat Mahotsav, the district administration has launched an extensive campaign to achieve 100% saturation of income, caste, and residence certificates. Under the directives of Collector Dr. Sarveshwar Narendra Bhure, special camps are being organized across all gram panchayats from August 20 to August 30, 2025 for widespread application collection.
A large number of school students and other eligible beneficiaries enthusiastically submitted applications during these camps. The revenue department carried out widespread awareness campaigns, including village announcements (munadi), to ensure that no eligible citizen is left out. Application forms are being provided free of cost at schools, hostels, and tehsil offices to facilitate participation.

The camps are being conducted in the presence of patwaris, kotwars, sarpanches, and secretaries to ensure transparency. For school students, a free ID facility has been introduced, allowing them to obtain income, caste, and residence certificates without any processing charges. However, for other eligible beneficiaries, a nominal fee of ₹30 per application and ₹5 per supporting document has been fixed.
Additional Collector C.L. Markandey informed that documents will be uploaded online through Aadhaar Service Centers and Lok Seva Kendras, after which Sub-Divisional Magistrates (SDMs) and Tehsildars will issue the certificates. Once approved, certificates will be delivered through schools or gram panchayats, making the process convenient for applicants.

It is noteworthy that during the Sushasan Tihar earlier, a large number of applications for income, caste, and residence certificates were received. In light of this, the Collector directed a district-wide campaign to ensure easy and timely issuance of certificates to students and beneficiaries.
