Collector says it will become the first 'paperless Collectorate' in the State
KOCHI: The District Collectorate, which was renovated under the State Government's Modernising Governance Programme (MGP), will be inaugurated by Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan on Friday morning at Kakkanad.
Addressing presspersons on Wednesday, District Collector A.P.M. Mohammed Hanish said the renovation scheme of the 25-year-old Civil Station Complex would be inaugurated by Public Works Minister P.J. Joseph, at the same function. Revenue Minister K.P. Rajendran would preside over the function. Fisheries Minister S. Sarma would be the chief guest on the occasion.
A total area of 35,852 sq. ft. on the first floor of the Civil Station Complex has been renovated at a cost of Rs.4.34 crores, as part of the MGP, in three categories including construction, storage of files and training of staff.
Rs.2 crores has been earmarked for the renovation of the Civil Station Complex, which has seen hardly any renovation or maintenance since its inauguration in 1981 by the then Governor Jyothi Venkitachalam. The detailed plan of the renovation will be announced by the Public Works Minister on Friday after the inauguration.
The Collector said that Ernakulam Collectorate was the first one in the State, which was totally renovated under the MGP. The pilot project was at the Palakkad Collectorate, which was renovated partially.
The Chambers of the Collector and the Additional District Magistrate are located on the eastern side of the first floor, while a conference hall, recreation centre for staff, library and media room are located on the western side. The entire floor will house modern, independent cabins for all the officers, reception rooms for visitors and a video conferencing hall.
The Collector said that within a year, the Ernakulam Collectorate would become the first 'paperless Collectorate' in the State. Around 125 workstations with flat screen monitors have been provided at the central hall of the Collectorate. There are about 400 staff in 14 departments in the Collectorate. Monitors are provided for all staff from Deputy Collectors to clerks. All the computers are linked to the offices of the Collector and the ADM, through the software developed by the National Informatics Centre (NIC).
In the paperless office, all files could be accessed through computers. The Collector can monitor the computer network. In the next phase, the network will be expanded to include the taluk offices and village offices, helping to track all the files in the district from the Collectorate.
