The Khasi Hills Autonomous Council (KHAJAC) met the Governor of Meghalaya to ask for a revision of the Digital Signature Certificate language guidelines.
The Khasi Hills Autonomous Council (KHAJAC) held a meeting with the Governor of Meghalaya to formally request a review of the language provisions governing Digital Signature Certificates (DSC). Representatives from KHAJAC presented their concerns about the current wording, arguing that it hampers effective communication for local administrative bodies.
KHAJAC officials highlighted that the existing DSC language rules are not fully aligned with the linguistic diversity of the region, potentially limiting the participation of officials who operate primarily in Khasi and other local dialects. They urged the state administration to consider a more inclusive framework that accommodates multiple languages.
The Governor acknowledged the council's submission and indicated that the matter would be forwarded to the relevant state departments for detailed examination. No immediate decision was announced, but the governor assured that the request would be evaluated in line with existing policy procedures.
If the review is approved, it could set a precedent for other states to adapt DSC guidelines to regional language needs, thereby enhancing digital governance across multilingual jurisdictions.
