English term or phrase: Additional Collector / Collectorate (India)
Hi,
Do we have any people from India here in this forum who may be able to explain to me what an "Additional Collector" does and what is the function of a "Collectorate"?
The terms are taken from a Certificate of the Sarpanch of the Village Panchayat who certifies that someone is unmarried.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Tanja
