Paperless registration marks a decisive step against corruption in the revenue department- Saini
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh–
''Haryana CM Nayab Singh Saini, said that the introduction of paperless registration marks a decisive step towards eliminating corruption in the revenue department. By minimizing human intervention, opportunities for malpractice will be virtually eliminated. Registry work will now be fully digital, a living example of the government’s ‘Minimum Government- Maximum Governance’ policy. The initiative will also help conserve the environment by reducing paper use, he said.
The Chief Minister was speaking at a state-level function held at Babain Tehsil in Ladwa Assembly Constituency, Kurukshetra, where he launched four key digital initiatives of the Revenue Department.
The Chief Minister also inaugurated the Paperless Registration system, Demarcation Portal, WhatsApp Chatbot, and Revenue Court Case Management System. He also released an information booklet and witnessed the first paperless registry and demarcation process at Babain Tehsil. Earlier, he planted a sapling in the tehsil premises.
Saini highlighted that the Digital Haryana Programme is designed to empower even the last person standing in the queue. The four initiatives launched are not just technological upgrades; they signal a new era of good governance, transparency, and citizen convenience, he said.
The Chief Minister said that the Revenue and Disaster Management Department plays a crucial role in both revenue administration and disaster response, directly impacting people’s lives. Over time, the department has adopted new technologies to make its functioning simpler, more transparent, and citizen-centric. These new initiatives mark another important step in that journey, he said.
Saini said that governance, at its core, means serving the people, hence the utmost aim of the state government is to make services simple, transparent, and fast, so that citizens don’t have to run from pillar to post. The government should reach people’s doorsteps and today’s launches reflect this commitment, he said.
Paperless Registration – A simpler, faster process
The Chief Minister said that the Paperless Registration initiative will end decades of complex registry procedures. Citizens will no longer face unnecessary delays or multiple office visits. They will only need to visit the tehsil once for signatures and photographs.
Demarcation Portal – Accurate land measurement using GPS
Describing farmers as the backbone of Haryana’s economy, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini said that land disputes are a common rural issue. The Demarcation Portal provides a permanent, technology-based solution. Farmers can now apply online for demarcation, which will be carried out using rover and advanced GPS technology, ensuring speed, accuracy, and impartiality.
WhatsApp Chatbot – Information 24×7
Recognizing that almost everyone now uses smartphones and WhatsApp, the government has leveraged this platform to provide easy access to information. The WhatsApp chatbot will offer round-the-clock details on departmental services, status updates, and required documents. Citizens will no longer need to visit offices for minor queries; they can get instant and accurate information on their phones. This will especially benefit people in rural areas.
Revenue Court Case Management System – Speeding up justice
Saini noted that long-pending cases in revenue courts have been a major hurdle in delivering timely justice. Delay in justice is equivalent to denial of justice, he remarked. With the Revenue Court Case Management System, all cases in revenue courts will now be digitally monitored. Details of case status, dates, and orders will be available online. This will help eliminate years of delay in smaller cases, making the judicial process more efficient and transparent. All revenue court cases will be brought onto a digital platform, enhancing judicial transparency and enabling faster resolution of pending matters.
