Soon, you can store education certificates online

The premier stock exchange is already implementing insurance repository that houses policies in demat form. "We have given a proposal to create education qualification repository so that all education qualifications from kindergarten onwards can be put into that depository and any potential employer or anyone can actually verify the same...," BSE Managing Director and CEO Ashishkumar Chauhan
