CM wants NGOs to emerge as strong force Excelsior Correspondent SRINAGAR, Oct 18: Chief Minister, Dr Farooq Abdullah today said non-Governmental organisations could play a pivotal role in bringing about socio-economic change in a State like Jammu and Kashmir that is faced with a peculiar situation for over a decade. Inaugurating a day-long state level seminar of NGOs organised by NABARD at SKICC here this morning, the Chief Minister said the biggest task before such organisations is to fight exploitation of working class and eliminating the cult of middlemen who take the biggest slice of profit on produce of artisans. "You must muster courage to speak out truth and fight for the rights of down trodden people," he told the participants hoping that they would suggest solutions to problems of weaker sections which would be examined by the Government at various levels. He appreciated the initiatives of NABARD in developing economy and also in the field of Self-Help Groups (SHG). The Chief Minister advised bankers and NGOs to work together for increasing the access of rural poor to credit and said combined efforts could make voluntary organisations a strong force in the State. He also asked the Government agencies to promote self-help group concept. Dr Abdullah said the State has undergone a traumatic phase during past few years and collective efforts are needed to steer it to progress and prosperity. He referred to the embezzlements in co-operative societies and said this has eroded the confidence of masses, which needs to be restored by bringing more transparency and making this part of mass movement. 'I wish NGOs to emerge as a strong force to bring revoluntarionary change in the society,' Dr Abdullah said. Speaking on the occasion, the General Manager, NABARD, Mr Bhawar Puri said the SHG concept has been accepted as a potent mechanism for social and economic empowerment of the poor, particularly women. He said this concept has been grounded in the past two and a half years during which lot of emphasis was initially given on capacity building of NGOs and bankers. Mr Puri said 371 NGO representatives have been trained at Chinmay Topovan Trust, Dharamshala so far. Besides, NABARD has been holding meets at the district level to create awareness among NGOs, bankers and Government officials about this concept, he said, adding that 300 self help groups have been promoted in Jammu and Kashmir, of which 61 have been linked with a total bank loan of Rs 6.17 lakh. He also gave a brief resume of order NABARD programmes being implemented in the State with collaboration of NGOs. The seminar helped in providing an interface between various agencies associated with the promotion of SHGs. The NGOs also made a presentation on their experiences in promotion of SHGs and deliberated upon field level issues confronted by them. Professor Khursheed, Co-ordinator NGO Federations Kashmir, Mr S P Verma, Co-ordinator NGO Federation Jammu, bankers, senior officers and representatives of NGOs spoke on the occasion. The Chief Minister interacted with NGOs and enquired from them about the status of various programmes launched for poor and skilled workers. |

PCC
demands constitution of sacred Excelsior Correspondent JAMMU, Oct 18: Pradesh Congress Committee vice-president Mr Gulchain Singh Charak has demanded constitution of sacred ‘Pilgrim-Tourism Autonomous Board’ for all the pilgrim-tourist spots in the state irrespective of religion, caste and faith. Addressing a press conference here today, Mr Charak who is also incharge press and publicity for PCC expressed that state is having multifarious pilgrim-tourism ranging from short term to seasons and to coordinate and oversee all the activities, the formation of an apex board is imperative. The mismanagement of Amarnath yatra with ill planning and loss of human lives compels one to assess pre and post constitution of Mata Vaishnodevi Shrine Board. He pointed out that the achievements of the Shrine Board prompts the constitution of a sacred autonomous board irrespective of religions at all the pilgrim spots as well as tourist resorts. This will unload the state apparatus which has not been able to deliver the goods to the desired extent. The autonomous board should have locals/ public active participation which will definitely stimulate to plug loop holes and accountability. Expressing serious concern over the migration from the border areas of Nowshera and Rajouri due to Pak firing recently, the PCC leader said that Government should provide them every possible assistance including free ration and shelter. Similar is the condition of border migrants putting up in different camps in and around Akhnoor. Appreciating the CM’s announcement about conduct of Panchayat polls, Mr Charak said that NC has made similar statements earlier too, but he should honour stick to his commitment made with the public this time. He also strongly criticised the BJP Government for recent price hike of petrol, diesel and cooking gas and maintained that this has put an extra burden on the common man. Mr Charak said that about 65 lakhs pilgrims were visiting Vaishnodevi every year and a large number of road mishaps are taking place on the highway from Pathankot to Katra but the Government has not taken initiative to improve the road. He demanded that as per its assurance the Government should develop this road into four lanes to minimise such mishaps in future. The Congress leader condemned the state government for discouraging the pilgrims to enter J&K by resorting to some acts. He alleged that the mismanagement in traffic and severe jams have been created by the Department of Excise and Taxation as the vehicles remain trapped in jams for hours together as several posts have been made non-functional and round the clock functioning of the Toll post has also been stopped by the concerned Department. He said if Government has taken some decision it should provide alternative to the common public. It should have created some bypass route at Lakhanpur to avoid this traffic jamming. |

Reserve Bank of India's guidelines for financing the industries were never adopted and the repeated assurance of package by the Government on the analogy of the North-East states had been only a ‘lip service’. Commenting on the role of J&K Bank in the development of industries in the Valley, he said that it was established inview to enhance the developmental works of the State and people had lot of expectations with it. "It is not ‘Khan's money’ in the Bank, but of people, of poor masses. The Bank should come up with something concrete for the industries here", Mr Kakroo said, adding that the role of IDBI in Kashmir was zero though it play pivotal role in industrial development in the other states of India. Mr Kakroo, while highlighting the problems of the industrial sector vis-a-vis power supply said that the quality of the electric supply had resulted in damaging the electrical appliances, causing breakdown to the industrial concern for weeks together. "The required optimum voltage of 440 volts has never been provided and instead during the summer and the winter months voltage is 300 volts and 180-200 volts respectively. This results in 50% officiency of machinery in summer and 20% during winter by compounded scheduled and unscheduled curtailments", he said. Refuting the statements of new-payment of electric bills by industrial units, he said that industries regularly paid the electric dues despite large irregularity in power supply. Mr Kakroo said that though Union Minister for Consumer Affairs, Mr Shanta Kumar, recently held that a new industrial policy was on anvil to revive sick units in J&K, but nothing was done in this direction.
