In a series of review meetings of departments, Sukhu said the government was in the process of digitizing the data and asked the department of Labour and Employment to adopt modern technology to streamline the operations of the department.

While reviewing the functioning of the department, he said that all the operations of the department must be digitized and data of skilled persons in various fields must be available online.
