Govt. sanctions funds for Telangana State Archives
The Hindu
₹ 1 crore for digitisation of records, preparing a descriptive catalogue, and DMS, digital library and website
After a long wait, the Telangana State Archives and Research Institute (TSARI) will now have a website of its own, a descriptive catalogue of documents it houses and digitised archival records.
The move comes after several stories were carried in these columns which underscored the state of affairs at the TSARI, including a pressing need for preservation of documents, the disrepair of the building in Tarnaka from which it operates, the number of vacant posts there, and a lack of adequate funds. Further, the TSARI had pointed to the State government the pressing need for additional funds for digitisation of its records.
A government order which was recently issued had sanctioned a total of ₹ 1 crore for digitisation of records, preparing a descriptive catalogue, and DMS, digital library and website. The TSARI will also hire on a temporary basis four Persian to English translators, and six Urdu to English translators. This is being done for cataloguing of archival records, and other translation work.

Remember how Anne Frank didn’t miss a day to write in her diary which she named, Kitty? Anne wasn’t just scribbling dates and events — she was writing about her hopes, dreams, feelings and fears — like painting her world with words on paper. During the most difficult phase of her life, Anne found solace in her journal which became a way for her to stay connected to herself and it gave the world a glimpse into her immensely powerful resilience. In today’s world, where everyone is constantly scrolling the screens — journaling has become a sweet escape and a digital detox. Surprising, right? The old-school practice of picking up a pen and writing your thoughts in a diary has made a major comeback.
