Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu clarified that the Registration Service Kendras (RSKs) were being established solely to provide faster and more citizen-friendly registration services and it was by no means ‘privatisation’ of the Sub-Registrar Offices (SROs). The RSKs were intended to simplify the registration services and they would function on the lines of Passport Seva Kendras, he asserted.
Addressing a review meeting on the Real Time Governance at the Secretariat near here on Monday, Mr. Naidu said while the objective of the RSKs was clear, a false propaganda had been unleashed that it was a step towards privatising the SROs. He instructed the officials to explain the facts to the public and highlight the benefits of the new system.
He also promised document writers that alternative livelihood opportunities would be shown to them.
