REGIONAL CENTRE FOR AUTHENTICATION OF EDUCATIONAL CERTIFICATES
TO BE OPENED IN KERALA
A regional centre
for authentication of educational certificates is being opened
in Kerala soon.
There is great demand
for manpower in the Gulf region, especially in the middle eastern
countries. A large number of people from Kerala are availing of
this opportunity and going to these countries. In order to get
work permit and visa, the middle east countries require that their
educational qualifications should be authenticated by the Department
of Secondary & Higher Education, Ministry of Human Resource
Development and countersigned by the Ministry of External Affairs.
In order to help
people from the southern states going abroad, Minister of Human
Resource Development, Dr. Murli Manohar Joshi, has decided that
a regional center be opened for authentication of educational
qualifications in Kerala, as also requested by the Chief Minister
of Kerala to the Prime Minister.
The HRD Ministry
has already informed the Government of Kerala of its intention
to open an office there and has requested for a suitable office
accommodation. It has also requested the Ministry of External
Affairs to make suitable arrangements for countersigning the certificates
in Kerala itself so that people from the southern parts of the
country do not have to come to Delhi for authentication and countersignature.
