Jammu: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha participated in Block Diwas, a public outreach programme of J&K UT Administration, at Bhalwal today.
Congratulating people for overwhelming response on Block Diwas, the Lt Governor said 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, 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 Lt Governor said.
He said, the massive and historic participation of people in Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra and 100% saturation of all schemes will remove developmental imbalances and give a tremendous boost to local economy.
The Lt Governor reiterated the resolve of the UT 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 road, boost industries, religious tourism and tapping the potential of 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,” the Lt Governor further added.
