Chandigarh, June 26

Additional Chief Secretary, Revenue, Disaster Management and Consolidation Department, Sanjeev Kaushal, has said that modern revenue record rooms will be ready in the next two months at all district headquarters of the state.

He said the work of digitising the age-old revenue records in the state was going on at a fast pace and soon these records would be easily available at the click of the mouse. Kaushal said Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had approved an ambitious project of Rs 77 crore to digitise the record rooms of revenue offices across the state.

Kaushal was holding a review meeting with the deputy commissioners across the state through video-conferencing here today. He said at present, the Revenue Department was piled up with lakhs of files, some even before the year 1870 and the department was maintaining it manually.

He said that under the new initiative, important revenue records and documents were being scanned, catalogued and kept in digital boxes in modern record rooms. These records/documents could be accessed at the time of need, which would save time and money of the department and the general public.
