A register of surviving manuscripts in Punjab's gurdwaras, deras and private houses.

The home villages of the Komagata Maru passengers.
A cross-script Punjabi dictionary covering both Punjabs.

A record of the household plant pharmacopoeia held by the last generation that used it.

None of these needs new technology, special access or a large budget. All of them need somebody to start.
The list on this site is not exhaustive and it is not difficult. Most of the items need a person, a phone, a spreadsheet and a year.
Several need only what is already public: the war graves registers, the settlement reports, the satellite imagery, the electoral rolls and the census tables.
The reason none of it has been done is not cost. It is that no institution in Punjab has taken responsibility for the region's own record, and no individual has been asked to.
