Jammu- Reiterating the commitment of his administration towards equitable and inclusive development and to ensure empowerment of all, Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha said Wednesday that poor and underprivileged have the first right on government resources.
Participating in Block Diwas, a public outreach programme of J&K administration, at Bhalwal here, Sinha also said that the Jan-Bhagidari campaign to strengthen participatory governance is empowering citizens, generating awareness about responsibilities and ensuring accountability of officers in administration.
He called upon every section of the society to take initiative with dedication and determination to make their panchayat clean, liveable, achieve 100% literacy rate, and maintain green spaces and 100% saturation of all government schemes.
“The sense of commitment and duty among the citizens towards the society and their respective panchayats will improve quality of life and pave the way to prosperity,” the LG said.
He said the massive and historic participation of people in the Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra and 100% saturation of all schemes will remove developmental imbalances and give a tremendous boost to the local economy. Sinha also reiterated the resolve of his administration towards equitable and inclusive development and to ensure empowerment of all.
“Poor and underprivileged have the first right on government resources. Efforts are being made towards promotion of Dogri and other regional languages, connecting remaining panchayats with roads, boosting industries, religious tourism and tapping the potential of the Agriculture & Allied sector,” he said.
“Besides central government schemes, the J&K UT administration is running more than a dozen self-employment schemes with an objective to provide resources and requisite training to youth to start their own business. This could be a game changer both in urban and rural areas,” he added.
At the event, the LG urged the people to assist the Civil Administration and Police to intensify crackdown on drug supply chains to make their Panchayat Nasha-Mukt.
Responding to the issues put forth by former PRI members on the occasion, Sinha assured them that their suggestions and genuine demands would be considered in the planning of the District Capex Budget.
He also directed Deputy Commissioner Jammu to take a comprehensive review of the development of playfields in panchayats of the District and ensure that by the end of the month of April, every panchayat of Jammu District, where land is available, has a playfield.
