- HT Correspond­ent letterschd@hindustant­imes.com

CHANDIGARH: Punjab chief minister Amarinder Singh on Wednesday asked the top brass of the police to put an immediate end to infighting.

The chief minister had summoned a closed-door meeting of all top officials of the force. The meeting assumes significan­ce in the wake of some serious allegation­s levelled by a senior IPS officer against two DGPS in the high court on April 6.

The CM noted that he had never seen such things happening in Punjab Police. He said, if needed, he would even approach Union home minister Rajnath Singh to seek the dismissal of any officer found violating discipline in the force.

MOHALI :The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) will offer students appearing for its exams in the 2018-19 academic session online, quick and reliable verificati­on of academic awards, with prior consent of the student. The board has registered itself with National Academic Depository (NAD) — a 24X7 online store house of all academic certificat­es by academic institutio­ns/boards. The NAD has the approval of the Union cabinet.

The PSEB will be able to permanentl­y store all academic certificat­es on the NAD platform that would maintain the authentici­ty, integrity and confidenti­ality of the database.

The tie-up means that soon there would no need for issuing duplicate certificat­es or verificati­on of academic certificat­es. The PSEB will also be able to counter the problem of forgery that plagues the issue of paper certificat­es.

The board has also entered into a tripartite agreement to upload around 8 lakh digital certificat­es of students, appearing for matriculat­ion and senior secondary students.

STUDENTS WILL NEED TO REGISTER

To access digital certificat­es, students will have to register on the NAD platform by providing Aadhaar details or shall have to get a unique NAD ID, if Aadhaar is not available. To get unique NAD ID, the student shall have to register as non-aadhar candidate. The online form generated shall be approved by district manager of the PSEB at the local office.

Then, the NAD ID shall be sent to candidates/ student’s registered email id. Student can view/ download digitally signed certificat­es, request printed copy of the certificat­e, approve/reject request or any verifier for access to his/her certificat­e.

Students and teachers will be trained on how to access digital certificat­es that the PSEB will upload on the NAD.
