Caste certificates obtained through middlemen are bogus: BARTI


Staff Reporter
If you have obtained caste certificate/caste validity certificate through middlemen/agents, it will be treated as ‘false/bogus/forged’. Sounding an alert in this regard, Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Research and Training Institute (BARTI) has cautioned the people that use of such certificate for ‘any reservation or any other benefit’ will attract action as per law.
BARTI, an autonomous institute of State Department of Social Justice and Special Assistance, has issued an alert in this regard. Through the notice published in some newspapers, it has made it clear that obtaining certificates through middlemen/agents will be treated as ‘fraudulent act’. “Such fraudulent act is a cognisable offence and also a non-bailable one,” it added. Those committing such an act will be treated as ‘offenders’ and will be punished with rigorous imprisonment of two years and fine up to Rs 20,000. Further, the person who ‘abets such offence or encourages the commission of such offence’ is also liable to be punished.
Director General of BARTI and Chief Co-ordinator of Caste Scrutiny Committees in State, has appealed to the persons holding ‘such false certificates’ to deposit the same with the Caste Scrutiny Committee and apply afresh to get Caste Certificate/Caste Validity Certificate to the Caste Certificate Issuing Authority and the Caste Scrutiny Committee respectively. Once such certificates are deposited with the said authorities, decision will be taken ‘on the basis of merit’.
BARTI has asked the people neither to contact middlemen/agents nor indulge in illegal acts. Besides, it has appealed to the people not to submit false information/statement/documents to procure Caste Certificate/Caste Validity Certificate.

The Institute has also decided to place on its website https://barti.maharashtra.gov.in/ the scanned copies of Caste Validity Certificates issued by the offices of Caste Scrutiny Committees and certain details of Caste Certificates. The decision has been taken to enable the people to check genuine certificates.

Hinganghat: Here rests the great surveyor of India...

  By Kartik Lokhande  Often, the work of explorers lives on but they get buried in the history. This is exactly what has happened in case of Lt Col William Lambton. The man credited with initiating one of the greatest scientific activities in the world -- The Great Trigonometrical Survey of India -- lays buried at a place now known as ‘Kala Gota’ amid a crowded locality behind Bus Stand in the town of Hinganghat in Wardha district. Sadly, the memorial of this great surveyor, whose work led to measuring the highest point on Earth 50 years later, has become a victim of neglect. And, surprisingly, not many know about it and the great significance of Hinganghat in the landmark survey.  Lambton Memorial, known locally as 'Kala Gota' in Hinganghat.

* November 2015 marks the culmination of birth centenary celebrations of Eknath Ranade, a son of Vidarbha who made it the cause of his life to realise the dream of Vivekananda Rock Memorial at Kanyakumari By Kartik Lokhande  It was 1962, a year that had stirred the atmosphere in the country owing to several factors including a war with China. In January 1963, India was to celebrate the birth centenary of Swami Vivekananda. In down south, in Tamil Nadu and Kerala, tension was in the air over Swami Vivekananda’s memorial. There were attempts by some to claim the Rock off the shores of Tamil Nadu where Vivekananda meditated. A firm leadership is required to navigate through little storms in the journey towards realisation of a goal. Eknath Ranade, a man born in village Timtala in Amravati district of Vidarbha region in Maharashtra, was destined to be that firm leader as far as Swami Vivekananda’s memorial at Kanyakumari. Born on November 19, 1914, Eknath Ranade was the you
