00:00In September 2024, a citizen of Silchowshahar, Janarko Das Podhavir, applied for a citizenship certificate online for his citizenship in 2019.
00:12And he has received that certificate for some time now.
00:19He was originally from the Silep district of Bangladesh's big village, Vyani Bazar.
00:24On 30 June 1986, his father had acquired a land from Janarko Mahmud Abdur Rao Mahaswani.
00:33He had registered that land in his name, which proves that he was a citizen of Bangladesh.
00:38Because the law says that those who have come to India before December 31, 2014,
00:44after receiving legal permission from Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Pakistan,
00:48will only get citizenship under the law of the Civil Code.
00:51For that, as the first certificate, a Bangladeshi girl was required.
00:55In that case, the person who got the citizenship,
00:58he gave his birthplace, Dalit, to his father in that Bangladesh.
01:02And in India, he had a lot of birth certificates,
01:05such as the name of the old age home,
01:06a pen card, an Aadhar card,
01:08then there was a ration card,
01:09he had a driving license of his own name.
01:11So, he had a lot of birth certificates in India.
01:13He lived in Silchowshahar for about 36 years.
01:17And after living there for 36 years,
01:19he got the citizenship under the Civil Code.
01:24The first person he met was his younger brother,
01:27although they were from two different families.
01:29There is a proof that the first birth certificate was a birth certificate.
01:32The first person, this application form, the online application,
01:36there is an option that you want an online certificate or you want it offline.
01:41Meaning, if it is offline, you have to go to the Goverdian Census Registration Office.
01:47The first person, Dasopadhyay,
01:49went to the Goverdian Census Registration Office
01:51and got the certificate physically.
01:54But for him, it was a very difficult matter.
01:58I was worried about that.
01:59When the application was made,
02:01I gave him the option to get it online.
02:04He got it online.
02:06He already got it.
02:07And it is still valid.
02:09Because the rules of the Civil Code,
02:13the rules that were in place in 2024,
02:15the rules 15151A,
02:22there is a provision that you can get a digital certificate.
02:25Earlier, the Civil Code did not have any restrictions on digital certificates.
02:29The new rules have made digital certificates valid.
02:33And another interesting thing is that
02:35there is a QR code on the top right of the certificate.
02:39You can scan that QR code to get a digital certificate.
02:42In my birth, there were two people.
02:44And those who got it,
02:45or those who will get the Civil Code under the car in the next 12 years,
02:48the day they enter India,
02:50they will be considered a citizen from that day.
02:51The certificate that he got yesterday,
02:54does not mean that he is a citizen of India from tomorrow.
02:56He is a citizen of India from the day he entered India in 1968.
03:01That means,
03:02the name of the boat,
03:04or the ration card,
03:04Aadhar card,
03:06pen card,
03:06diving license,
03:07everything is valid for him.
03:09I have more hope in my birth.
03:10Because I have applied for about 13 people.
03:14So far, only two people have got it.
03:16The rest, I hope, will get it.
