Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 9 : Stressing on launching mega awareness campaigns about government policies and programmes, Deputy Chief Minister. Tara Chand said different central and state government schemes have been launched in the state for welfare of the people and now rigorous camps need to be organized to make people aware of these initiatives.
He said Panchayat Raj Institution (PRI) functionaries can play a pivotal role in making people aware of various welfare programmes and development initiatives launched by the government for all round development and benefit of all sections of the society. "Empowerment of panchayats have given new dimensions to development profile of the state ensuring better planning and implementation of welfare and development programmes at grass root level," he added. A mega awareness camp cum felicitation function was organized at Khour today.
Newly elected MLCs from Jammu province through panchayati raj quota, Shahnaz Ganai and Sham Lal Bhagat were given rousing reception at the function. Sarpanchs, Panchs and people from all walks of life attended the event and showed keen interest in getting information about various government policies and programs.
Congratulating newly elected MLCs, Tara Chand said that sarpanchs and panchs need special applaud for massive participation in the elections and the election of four members into upper house is a giant leap forward in ensuring a strong panchayati raj system in the state.
He said both. Ganai and Bhagat have a long history of serving people and represent far-flung areas of the state, adding that with their election people now can hope that different issues of people living in border and far off areas would get projected in a better way.
"The dream of late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi for a strengthened Panchayati Raj system is getting fulfilled with each step of the government and our aim is to empower people at village level for better planning and efficient delivery," he added. Instructions were issued to the SDM for issuing a calendar for holding awareness camps at different places in which people should be encouraged to get themselves registered for different schemes of rural development, labor, agriculture, employment and other departments.
Directions were also issued for installing at least two information display boards at prominent locations to make people aware of different policies and programmes of the government. Among others the camp was attended by District Development Commissioner, Jammu Sanjeev Verma, Sub-Divisional Magistrate, Akhnoor N.S.Jamwal and other senior level officers of various departments.
