Patna: Revenue and land reforms minister Dilip Kumar Jaiswal on Thursday announced that computer operator-cum-clerks will be appointed in every panchayat to ensure that online revenue services reach the last person in the state.
Review Meeting Highlights
During a review meeting, the minister said the move would enable people to conveniently avail revenue services at the panchayat level. He added that a proposal to recruit 8,054 revenue employees has already been sent to the Bihar Staff Selection Commission to address the department's staff shortage.
