But after 2 months, in the same project office, on 19 June 2023, a recruitment advertisement was issued for Gandhinagar of Sodhar Panchayat, in which it is clearly written. If she is a woman from a family living below the poverty line, the certificate issued by the competent authority from the effective list will be valid. There is no mention of the competent authority in this.
