BENGALURU: Launching the initiative of digitization of revenue records at Bengaluru South and Bengaluru North Taluk at Bengaluru Urban Deputy Commissioner’s Office on Monday, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda said that the government has completed digitising 62 crore pages of revenue documents across the state and in three months, all 100 crore pages will be digitised.

Once the process is completed, the department will initiate a process to digitise documents at the Stamps and Registrations department and the Survey and Settlement wing of the revenue department, said Byre Gowda.
