Doda Jan 26
Despite spending crores of rupees of several Centrally sponsored scheme, the benefits hardly reach to the common people living in remote and far flung areas of the district. Although the Centre has started a number of public utility schemes like Sarva Siksha Abhiyan, Integrated Child Development Scheme, Mid Day Meals, National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, National Rural Health Mission, but regrettably the common people are getting no benefits from all these schemes. Crores of rupees spent on these schemes, are going waste, for want of proper monitoring, allege the commoners. Similar is the case with Bharar Nirman Yojna, which aims at providing better facility of roads, drinking water, irrigation, electricity, sanitation, communication, housing to the rural population.
Very little improvement is seen in the villages because the implementing authorities and other concerned agencies are not sincere and honest. Lack of facilities in villages is forcing villagers to shift to towns and cities and if this trend is allowed to continue the day would not be far off when no inhabitant would be visible in the villages, the observers feel Whatever development is going on it is limited to cities and town and attention is being paid to the villages located far off from the district headquarter, the villagers allege and demand that adequate attention should be paid to the development of villages where the majority of the population lives.
