JAMMU, Jan 19 : Saying that the road map for remaining three years of the Government focuses on development, welfare and empowerment, the Minister for Industries and Commerce, S. S. Slathia today said ushering the State in a golden era of peace, prosperity and progress would be the key objectives of the States' future planning. Addressing a public meeting at Bari Brahmana, after inaugurating three newly constructed link roads at Takkar, Lower Barjani (meen Sarkar) and Gurah Gurgi (Charkah) in Vijaypur near here this afternoon, Slathia said ensuring better road connectivity especially to the hitherto neglected and for flung areas has been flagged as top priority by the present government as socio economic development was subservient to the better linkages between villages and cities. The link roads have been constructed at a cost of Rs. 45 lakhs and would open new channels of load linkages to give fresh impetus to the economic activities in these areas. Saying that integration of the people into the economic map of the State was crucial, Slathia said that enabling youth to earn dignified livelihood through self employment is an ambitious mission of the Government, adding that Sher-i-Kashmir Employment and Welfare Programme for youth (SKEWPY) has been launched with this objective. "This novel employment scheme has been appreciated even by the Planning Commission of India".Slathia observed asking youth to avail multiple benefits of the SKEWPY, Slathia said it enables educated youth to realize their potential and capabilities to achieve success in the Corporate Sector. "In view of the broad contours of the SKEWPY in employment generation, skill development and entrepreneurship, several States have shown interest in the scheme for implementation in their States as well", Slathia added.
Responding to the local demands of the people, the Minister assured that the government would pool all the available resources to provide required basic amenities to the people. He said provision of un-interrupted power and drinking water supply and adequate availability of essential commodities to the people shall be ensured adding that there will be no compromise in this regard. He directed the concerned officers to undertake construction of a link road in Ward No.6 of Bari Brahmana as also repairs of damaged power transformer there.
