KISHTWAR, Oct 24: Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar Pankaj Kumar Sharma today chaired a meeting at the Meeting Hall of the New DC Office Complex, Kishtwar, to review preparations and finalize arrangements for the observance of Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas–2026 from November 1 to 15, 2026 across the district.
The meeting focused on ensuring effective implementation of the programme through coordinated departmental efforts, community participation, awareness activities and targeted outreach to tribal habitations, with particular emphasis on the welfare, empowerment and socio-economic development of tribal communities.
PO ICDS (Nodal Officer, Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas) Rishi Kumar Sharma delivered a detailed PowerPoint presentation outlining the key themes, proposed activities, day-wise schedule and responsibilities assigned to various departments for the successful conduct of the 15-day programme.
The Deputy Commissioner directed all concerned departments to ensure 100% saturation of eligible beneficiaries under various tribal welfare schemes in all 19 identified tribal villages. He directed all District and Sectoral Heads of the concerned line departments to submit the day-wise activity schedule of their respective departments positively by October 26, 2026 (Monday), to facilitate effective planning and coordination.
Emphasizing the need to ensure that the benefits of government initiatives reach every eligible beneficiary, the Deputy Commissioner directed the concerned departments to organize dedicated awareness and outreach activities regarding UT Government schemes and Centrally Sponsored Schemes, particularly those aimed at tribal welfare. He stressed that field-level participation by officers of line departments is essential to ensure effective implementation and meaningful engagement with tribal communities, including those residing in remote and far-flung areas.
The DC also emphasized the importance of facilitating the creation and updation (wherever required) of essential beneficiary documents, including ABHA cards, Aadhaar cards and e-Shram cards, along with registration under the Pradhan Mantri Matru Vandana Yojana (PMMVY). He further emphasized the need to ensure enrolment of eligible tribal beneficiaries under the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY), Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY) and other social security and financial inclusion schemes, with a special focus on expanding insurance coverage and ensuring access to financial security benefits for tribal households. He also laid special emphasis on organizing awareness programmes on the POCSO Act and child marriage, particularly in tribal habitations and educational institutions, to promote child safety, education and awareness of legal safeguards.
