Imphal, February 27 2016 :
As assured by Chief Minister O
Ibobi on the floor of the House
yesterday, a Cabinet meeting
held today has agreed to replace
the existing system about
attestation of documents
needed for admission in
educational institutions and
application for jobs by a ga-
zetted officer by self-attestation
and self-certification.
Briefing media persons
after the Cabinet meeting
which was presided by Chief
Minister O Ibobi, Govern-
ment spokesman M Okendro
informed that the Ministry of
Personnel, Public Grievances
and Pension, Department of
Public Grievances, acting at
the behest of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi, wrote to the
State Government seeking
replacement of the system of
attestation by gazetted offic-
ers by self-attestation.
The new system would
come into effect once the
Government issues due noti-
fication.
The new system would
also make it easier for benefi-
ciaries of the National Food
Security Act to submit neces-
sary documents to the relevant
authorities, remarked Oken-
dro while adding that the NFS
Act would be implemented in
the State from April 1 .
