Today, when the world's oldest civilization and rich cultural heritage is moving towards becoming an economic superpower, it is absolutely necessary that the evils and the class differences plaguing it must be completely removed, observed the Lt Governor.
Whatever we are creating, we must lay a solid foundation for a society full of self-dignity, self-respect, and prosperity. Working in this direction, the UT Government, in the last 16 months, has tried to establish a new transparent, accountable, people-centric governance system. Efforts have been made through active programs towards the empowerment of the general public, said the Lt Governor.

Several landmark decisions of the Government are steering people's empowerment, taking J&K towards new heights of development and prosperity, the Lt Governor said. For the first time in the history of Jammu and Kashmir, 7000 recruitments have been done on merit basis, in a transparent manner, which is a living example of how corruption-free, transparent and just system contributes to the progress of the marginalized class, observed the Lt Governor.
Another major decision taken by the Government is the one-time age relaxation in the recruitment exam for the post of Sub- Inspector, JKP, and the increase in the number of seats which has the potential to usher a wave of development and prosperity in the society. I wish the very best to the aspirants, the Lt Governor said.
Recently, J&K government has launched a public outreach campaign including 'One Person One Golden Card' campaign targeting the distribution of 58 Lakh Golden cards under the AB-PMJAY & AB-PMJAY-SEHAT health insurance schemes, aimed at ensuring greater coverage with easy access to affordable healthcare facilities to poor families from rural background.
Similarly, 'Har Ghar Dastak' Campaign has been launched to cover all unvaccinated cases, besides ensuring sensitization regarding importance of Covid Appropriate Behaviour (CAB), he added.
Following the ideals of the Hon'ble Prime Minister, we have introduced digital initiatives to bring more transparency and reduce the gap between the system and the service, for the convenience of the common citizen. Such interventions will go a long way to ensure that benefits of the public welfare schemes are being made available to the people so that every citizen can live a dignified and prosperous life in a harmonious and progressive environment, said the Lt Governor.
J&K administration is trying its best to strengthen the democratic system at the grassroots level; encouraging public participation in the development process; implementing principles of Good Governance; providing inclusive, qualitative education to all; creating more livelihood opportunities for the youth; taking industries to the block level, besides making all the public services easily accessible to the people of J&K, the Lt Governor observed.
