Hyderabad: Getting SC, ST and BC community certificates in Telangana has become quicker and simpler through MeeSeva, IT minister D Sridhar Babu announced. Rolled out 15 days ago, the system has already helped over 17,500 citizens and is expected to benefit nearly 20 lakh applicants annually.

Certificates can now be re-issued directly at MeeSeva centres without fresh approvals, except in special cases. Citizens with old certificate numbers can reprint instantly, while searches by district, mandal, village, or name are also available.
