Some straightforward requests are reviewed in about 40 minutes. Network in forest villages can add time.

Malaria in Bastar
Bastar has some of India's highest malaria rates, especially in the monsoon and after. A fever with chills, sweating and headache needs a blood test in person. Severe malaria can turn dangerous quickly. If you've been tested and treated, you can apply for a certificate with your report.
The Steel Plant at Nagarnar
The steel plant and its contractors employ many people from the district. Permanent staff usually follow the company's medical rules. Contract workers should ask their supervisor what proof they accept. Burns and injuries need an in-person check.
Forest Produce and Haats
Families collect tamarind, mahua, sal seeds and tendu leaves from the forests and sell them at the weekly haats. Long walks, heat and insect bites are part of the work. Animal bites and snakebites need a hospital straight away.
Dhokra and Iron Craft
Bastar's dhokra metal casters and wrought iron smiths work with fire and molten metal. Burns need an in-person check. For a fever or chest infection, a buyer or cooperative may want proof, and you can apply online.
Students and Teachers
Students at the medical college, the university and the district's colleges follow their institution's rules. Chhattisgarh government teachers should check their department's leave rules first.
A Teacher's Request
A teacher at a school near Jagdalpur gets a fever with chills in August. A malaria test is positive and she's treated at the district hospital. The school wants a certificate for five days. She applies and uploads the report. Once the doctor has reviewed it, a certificate is issued for the days the illness justifies.

Families at the Medical College
The medical college hospital at Dimrapal treats patients from across Bastar. Serious cases go to Raipur. If you've taken leave to look after a relative, a caretaker certificate is the right request.

Looking After an Older Parent
Many young people from Bastar work in Raipur, Hyderabad or other cities. If you've come home to look after a parent after a fall, surgery or a long illness, a caretaker certificate covers that leave. Discharge or admission papers make the review easier.
Chitrakote and Tirathgarh Visitors
The falls at Chitrakote and Tirathgarh and the Kanger valley caves draw visitors, especially after the monsoon. Wet rocks and strong currents are dangerous. Any injury should be seen in person. For a fever after a trip, you can apply online.
Kanger Valley Guides
Guides and staff at the Kanger valley caves and waterfalls work long seasons. Slippery paths and caves bring falls. An injury needs a doctor to examine it.
