Chief minister Arvind Kejriwal has directed the officials to replicate this project in all the districts of Delhi within the next six months.

The initiative will allow citizens to have 24x7 accesses to their record of rights and also bring in en hanced transparency. Multiple copies of the documents can also be printed directly.

Garg said an online mutation module has also been developed so that the database remains updated.

People can contact Kapashera and Najafgarh sub-division offices if they find any error due to computerization of the records. The records have been digitized in Devanagari script with the facility of a virtual Hindi keyboard enabling easy search.
