JAMMU, FEBRUARY 26- The 3 day Workshop-Cum-Training Programme, organised in collaboration with NIC, J&K by inviting expert Scientists from Software Development Unit of NIC, Pune for implementation of National Generic Document Registration System (NGDRS), concluded today at Jammu.

Pertinently, the registration of documents in the erstwhile State of Jammu and Kashmir was being done by the Judiciary at various levels but due to re-organization of the State into two Union Territories a separate and independent Department of Registration has been created and established in the UT of J&K.
