Chandigarh plans another attempt to digitize estate records

The Chandigarh administration is launching another attempt to digitize property records, aiming for full digitization of the estate office's documents. This initiative seeks to improve service delivery and transparency. The National Informatics Centre (NIC) will lead the digitization process, including hiring a firm to scan and catalogue documents. Previous attempts in 2005, 2011, and 2021 failed to fully digitize records, but this time, the administration is focused on accuracy. A digital platform for live file tracking is also planned, allowing officials and allottees to monitor progress. This follows previous issues with incorrect data uploads, which have since been rectified.
