In an effort to improve the living conditions of poor families in Jammu and Kashmir, the Lieutenant Governor of the
Union Territory, Manoj Sinha, announced that the administration will soon provide land and homes to landless
families. Currently, there is no law in J-K that provides land to the poor, leaving many families struggling to find
adequate housing. However, under the new provision, houses will be built for these families under the PM Awas
Yojana. Sinha reiterated the administration's commitment to the welfare of the poor and emphasized that inclusive
growth is the focus of the government, as guided by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The announcement was made at an event celebrating the 450th Prakash Utsav of Goswami Guru Nabha Dass Maharaj.
The LG also announced that land will be provided for the building of a 'Smriti Bhavan' in memory of Guru Nabha
Dass Ji. He further emphasized the government's commitment to ensuring that no individual or section of society is
left behind in the development journey of Jammu and Kashmir, following the historic decision of August 5, 2019,
which ended decades of discrimination against deprived sections of society.
The LG stated that Jammu and Kashmir is marching ahead with the spirit of welfare of every section of society,
inspired by the thoughts of Guru Nabha Dass Ji. He urged all citizens to promote the spirit of brotherhood and
strengthen emotional bonds to fulfil the resolve of 'Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat'. In addition, the government is taking
steps to streamline scholarships to wards of the SC community.
Sinha also highlighted the various steps taken by the government to ensure socio-economic development of poor and
marginalized persons, including the new industrial revolution, welfare of farmers, laborers, and workers,
empowerment of youth, women, and deprived sections, universal health coverage, e-governance, and start-up
ecosystem. All these steps reflect the true picture of a new and aspirational Jammu and Kashmir.
The LG called upon the people to take a pledge to dedicate themselves to ensure peace, prosperity, and social harmony
in the Union Territory. He emphasized that the government is committed to the welfare of everyone and is making
every effort to ensure that all individuals have equal opportunities for socio-economic development.
In conclusion, the announcement of the provision for land and homes for landless families in Jammu and Kashmir is a
significant step towards improving the living conditions of the poor. The LG's emphasis on the government's
commitment to inclusive growth and socio-economic development of all sections of society reflects the government's
efforts towards building a new and aspirational Jammu and Kashmir. The government's focus on strengthening
emotional bonds and promoting the spirit of brotherhood among citizens is also noteworthy, as it plays a crucial role
in ensuring peace and social harmony in the Union Territory.
