Sh. Kaushal informed that under the new initiative, important revenue records and documents are being scanned, catalouged and kept in digital boxes in modern record rooms. He said that these records/documents can be accessed at the time of need, which will save time and money of the Department and the general public.

Haryana government’s name instead of Department with regard to ownership of government land
Sh. Kaushal informed that in the column of land records, the name of Haryana government will be mentioned instead of the name of the Department in the ownership of government land and the name of the department will be mentioned in the Khana Kasht column. Similarly, with regard to the land of Municipal bodies and Panchayat, the name of Municipal body and Panchayat will be mentioned. This work has already been done on pilot basis in Barwala and Fatehabad of Panchkula.
Non-essential column in Land Records column
He said that after the advent of digital technology, a committee will be constituted to do away with irrelevant columns. The committee will submit its report in the next 15 days.
