How Can Rajasthan Preserve Its Historical Documents?

Jaipur, May 27 (NationPress) The Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, Diya Kumari, emphasized on Tuesday the necessity of preserving the abundant historical documents of Rajasthan through digitisation for the benefit of future generations.

“It is essential to safeguard the rich historical documents located in Bikaner through digitisation. This is crucial for the generations to come,” she urged officials during a meeting at the secretariat focused on the preservation of historical archives in Bikaner and the establishment of the 'Documents Museum' building.

She also called for the prompt initiation of the construction process for the 'Documents Museum', noting that these archives hold significant value in terms of history, culture, and research.

“Our primary objective is to ensure the preservation of these historical documents,” she stated.

The Deputy Chief Minister highlighted that digitisation will not only protect these documents but will also enhance accessibility for researchers and the general public.

An official disclosed that various facets of the project, including budget implementation, technical collaboration, and timelines, were thoroughly discussed during the meeting.

Officials are expected to formulate an action plan and commence its implementation shortly.

Previously, a significant joint committee convened to enhance the structures of Swarna Jayanti Park, Mazar Dam, and Kishan Bagh in the Vidyadhar Nagar Assembly constituency, with support from the Indian Army.

The Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the project was extensively reviewed during the meeting, presided over by Deputy Chief Minister of Rajasthan, General Officer Commanding-in-Chief South Western Command, Lieutenant General Manjinder Singh, and Additional Chief Secretary Finance Akhil Arora, among others.

Discussions included exploring opportunities for overall development, beautification, environment conservation, and tourism enhancement in the area, while aiming to establish it as a symbol of national pride through military collaboration.

The primary goal of this initiative is to develop these regions into clean, green, and educational recreational spaces, allowing local residents, youth, children, and tourists to experience a rich and inspiring environment.

This effort will not only spur regional development but also create an exemplary model of collaboration between the military and civil administration, serving as an inspiration for other regions within the state, officials stated.
