Achuthanandan inaugurates renovated Collectorate
KOCHI: Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan on Friday inaugurated the revamped District Collectorate, renovated under the Modernising Government Programme (MGP), at Kakkanad.
In his inaugural address, the Chief Minister expressed the hope that the modernised Collectorate would help to fulfil the expectations of the people on good administration.
Revenue Minister K.P. Rajendran, who presided over the function, said all the village offices in the State would be renovated under a Union Government-assisted project to be implemented in three phases. The renovation would be completed in two or three years, he said.
Mr. Rajendran said mini civil stations would be constructed at all taluks within the next two or three years. Steps would be taken to complete the shifting of all offices to the new mini civil stations which had already been constructed.
All the hitches in shifting offices to the new mini civil stations would be solved.
The Revenue Minister said all the documents related to land transaction in the State would be computerised in a way that would be helpful to the common public.
A target of two years would be fixed for completing the computerisation of all revenue documents.
He urged the Chief Minister to make available more facilities for the public at Kakkanad, as the entire region was being developed into a centre of administration and Information Technology.
Public Works Minister P.J. Joseph inaugurated the renovation of the Civil Station Complex. Fisheries and Registration Minister S. Sarma, who was the chief guest at the function, distributed title deeds (pattayams) to five persons as part of the project to provide land to the landless.
Fifty persons will be given title deeds as part of the scheme.
MGP State Director Sharmila Mary Joseph presented the report. Engineers of the Public Works Department (PWD), who were in charge of the project, and interior designer Jabeen L. Zakkarias were honoured at the function.
Thrikkakara panchayat president Sabitha Kareem and vice-president Radhakrishnan, who had cooperated with the renovation project by making the Thrikkakara Panchayat Community Hall available for the temporary functioning of the Collectorate during the construction work were also felicitated.
A message from the former Supreme Court Judge V.R. Krishna Iyer was read out at the function.
District Collector A.P.M. Mohammed Hanish welcomed the gathering.
