Caste Certificate Online Apply
Mission Bhumiputra, an innovative initiative by the Government of Assam, aims to continue delivering convenient public services to the general public. This program will revolutionize the process of issuing caste certificates to students by completely transitioning to a digital platform. Henceforth, students can conveniently apply for their Scheduled Caste Certificate, Scheduled Tribe (Hills) Certificate, Scheduled Tribe (Plains) Certificate, and OBC/MOBC Certificate online through the Mission Bhumiputra portal, as the manual system for issuing caste certificates is discontinued. On 1st August 2022, Chief Minister Dr. Himanta Biswa Sarma inaugurated this mission under the Department of Welfare of Plain Tribes and Backward Classes.
