Kavinder urged the people to keep their surroundings neat and clean to ward off diseases and bad aura besides ensuring serenity in the vicinity. He said that cleanliness is next to Godliness and therefore people should avoid littering and spilling of dirt as Jammu City is a beautiful place and every resident has a bounded duty to keep it clean and clear of dirt.

Speaking at the function, Kavinder dwelled on issues concerning women empowerment and significance of Self Help Groups. He asked the women living in the vicinity to avail maximum benefit of the schemes launched by the government led by PM Narendra Modi for youth and women. He said that there are so many opportunities provided by the Modi dispensation which have the potential to make women and youth job providers instead of being job seekers. The former Deputy Chief Minister said that at present the Jammu Urban Development Agency is providing financial assistance of Rs. 2 lakh to the young entrepreneurs for setting up gainful self-employment ventures. "The special feature of this scheme is that shopkeepers who are already running their business can also avail benefit under this scheme", he said and asked the party cadre to disseminate information about this scheme and others as well to the masses so that no one remains devoid of the benefits of the schemes envisaged for the common masses.
