CONFIDENCE IN

SELF-CERTIFICATION BY JOB

APPLICANTS

n While applying for a job in the country, one
had to get his certificates verified by a
gazetted officer. Because of this, youth
living in rural India or backward areas were
often deprived of applying. Keeping this in
mind, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014
approved the self-certification of certificates
for central government jobs.

n Making a start by allowing the self-
attestation of documents for the job
application which has now been extended
to many other areas since June 2016. Now
appointment letter is issued on submission
of self-attested documents.

When my government decides about
self-certification you may feel this to be a very
small decision. There cannot be a bigger decision
than deciding to trust the authenticity of 125
crore countrymen
