Kerala aims at law department modernisation, networking programmes

Our Bureau

Thiruvananthapuram , Dec 9

THE State Government has drawn up four projects aimed at modernising the functioning of the Law Department through induction of technology.

Announcing this to newspersons here, the Law Minister, Mr K.M. Mani, said that the first phase of the Rs 96.25-lakh scheme had been completed.

The second phase would be taken up during the next year.

The Minister listed the achievements of the department at the end of the 100-day intensive action programme of the State Government. The library under the Law Department has been automated. This will formally be opened at a function here on December 16.

In the first phase of the implementation of the `Court Cases Monitoring Solution for Law Offices' programme, the office of the Government Pleader, Thiruvananthapuram, has been linked online with the Law Department.

This also will be inaugurated on December 16, before all districts are brought under coverage in the Rs 76.87-lakh second phase.

Subsequent to the State-wide rollout, all offices of Law Officers in the State as well that of the Advocate-General and the Law Officer in New Delhi will be inter-linked. With the implementation in full mode, the Law Department will be able to monitor all cases on a daily basis.

The second phase of the work on setting up a law portal in the State has been progressing. The portal will be up and running within a year's time.

According to Mr Mani, who is also Minister for Housing, the Government has envisaged a Rs 361-crore project for rebuilding 90,208 houses set up under the one-lakh houses for poor programme.

Each house will entail an expenditure of Rs 40,000 in this manner.

When the programme gets done in three year's time, all houses under the one-lakh houses scheme will have been rebuilt. The State Government has already sanctioned Rs 5 crore for funding the programme.
