Early Times Report
PALLI (BISHNAH), Apr 24: Promising a bright future for the younger generation of the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday gave assurance to the youth that they won’t suffer the way their parents and grandparents suffered in the past.
“Friends, believe my words, the youth of the Valley mark my words, the difficulties faced by your parents and grandparents, you will not face those problems. This I will accomplish and I have come to assure you of that”, Prime Minister said while addressing a mammoth rally at Palli in Samba district.
Although Jammu and Kashmir government, during the last one and half years, has taken many anti-youth steps, Prime Minister’s assurance has revived the shattered faith of the unemployed youth of Jammu and Kashmir in general and Jammu in particular.
The youth of the Jammu region has taken Prime Minister’s promises very seriously and hoped that some effective steps would be taken to create job avenues for unemployed educated youth.
“Today is a landmark day in the development journey of Jammu and Kashmir”, he said and thanked the people of Jammu and Kashmir for their enthusiasm. The Prime Minister said, due to his long association with the state, he understands the issues involved and expressed happiness about the focus on connectivity in the projects inaugurated and for which the foundation stone was laid today.
Referring to the process of inclusion of Jammu and Kashmir in the development journey of the nation, the Prime Minister informed that more than 175 central laws have become applicable in Jammu and Kashmir. The biggest beneficiaries of this have been the women, poor and deprived section of the area.
He specially mentioned the condition of Valimikis before August 5, 2019. “Valmiki Samaj has been freed from the fetters that were put in their feet for decades. Today sons and daughters of every community are able to fulfill their dreams. Those who did not get the benefit of reservation in Jammu and Kashmir for years are also getting the benefit of reservation now”, he said.
Referring to his vision of “Ek Bharat Shrestha Bharat”, the Prime Minister explained that the vision focuses on connectivity and the elimination of distances. “Distances, whether of hearts, languages, customs or resources, their elimination is our very big priority today”, he added.
Since the introduction of constitutional reforms with regards to J&K in August 2019, the government has been focused on bringing about wide-ranging reforms to substantially improve governance and enhance ease of living for the people of the region at an unprecedented pace. The projects inaugurated and whose foundation stone was laid will go a long way in facilitating the provision of basic amenities, ensuring ease of mobility and development of infrastructure in the region.
The Prime Minister said that the celebration of National Panchayati Raj Day in Jammu and Kashmir marks a big change. He pointed out that democracy has made its way to the grassroots in Jammu and Kashmir.
“Be it democracy or resolve for development, today Jammu and Kashmir is presenting a new example. In the last 2-3 years, new dimensions of development have been created in Jammu and Kashmir”, the Prime Minister stressed.
For the first time, elections to the three-tier Panchayati Raj system- Gram Panchayat, Block Development Councils, and District Development Councils have been held in Jammu and Kashmir.
The Prime Minister dwelled on the role of Panchayats in the development of the country and said “This ‘Amrit Kaal’ of Independence is going to be the golden period of India. This resolve is going to be realized by Sabka Prayas. In this, the role of the Gram Panchayat, the most grassroots unit of democracy, and all of your colleagues is very important”, he told Panchayat members.
It is the effort of the government, he stressed, that the role of the Panchayat should deepen in the planning and implementation of every project related to the development of the village.
“With this, Panchayat will emerge as an important link in the achievement of national resolutions”, he added. |
