4. It has been brought to the notice of Government that the various Application Softwares developed by |KM and deployed in the Local Self Government Institutions work in integration with Saankhya, Accrual Based Double Entry Accounting Application Software. When Receipts in Saankhya and Acknowledgment in Soochika, File Tracking Application, are issued at the Janasevanakendram, Sutharyia Information Centre or Front Office, the use of two separate Printers are required.
