Under the project, applicants could apply for certificates such as community, income, nativity, first graduate and destitute widow issued by the revenue authorities at public service centres online.
The service centres are functioning at the offices of the Revenue Inspectors, taluk offices, 54 primary agricultural cooperative societies and 35 poverty eradication societies functioning under the Puduvazhu Scheme, Collector Darez Ahamed said.
Applications filed at the service centres are scanned and uploaded to the online system.
The applications would be verified by village administrative officers, revenue inspectors, special tahsildhars and tahsildars before issuing the certificates with the electronic signature of the tahsildar concerned.
Applicants need not apply again for such certificates for other members of his/ her family and can simply quote the original application numbers to get the certificates.
So far, 1.85 lakhs certificates have been issued through the e-governance project.
The authenticity of the certificates can be verified by scanning them using a software.
The laptops were being given to the Revenue Inspectors for the effective functioning of the system.
Mr. Darez Ahamed handed over the laptops to the Revenue Inspectors, the press release said.
