- A meeting chaired by Kailash Gahlot, Delhi revenue minister discussed the digitisation of all legacy certificate records and data (around 25 lakh certificates) at all district offices in Delhi.
- Around 20 lakh certificates have been scanned by the revenue department. The National Informatics Centre (NIC) will help in completely digitizing the entire records.
- The front office executives and other officials can verify the records digitally without having to deal with physical copies of old data records.
- The certificate records comprise SC/ST, OBC, marriage, and other certificates and are expected to include an Economically Weaker Section(EWS) certificate.
- On a pilot basis, two districts will produce digitised certificates by mid-August.
- Once all certificate records are digitised, online searching and verification of all certificates issued by the Delhi government will become easier.
- These services are expected to be linked with 'Digilocker' (a government-approved digital archive) so that the officials can fetch important information for processing any certificates in the future.
- Static Knowledge:
- CM of Delhi - Arvind Kejriwal
- Lieutenant Governor of Delhi - Vinai Kumar Saxena
