Reviewing the functioning of the Stamp and Registration Department, the chief minister said, "In view of the rapidly growing economy, investment activities and urbanisation in Uttar Pradesh, the department should become more transparent, technology-based, accountable and citizen-centric".

Registration offices are directly connected with the common people. Therefore, their arrangements should be modern, organised and citizen-friendly," an official statement quoted the chief minister as saying.

Adityanath also stressed the need to develop sub-registrar offices in a phased manner on the lines of passport service centres.

The meeting was informed that nearly 2.4 crore people come in direct contact with registration offices every year in the state. The department is working towards providing facilities, including help desks, token and queue management systems, modern waiting areas, women and child care rooms and digital services, according to the statement. Such a system should be developed so that citizens do not have to face unnecessary waiting and inconvenience," Adityanath told officials.He said the Stamp and Registration Department is an important pillar of the state's revenue system.
