UDHAMPUR, Jan 23: To have on the spot feel of people, especially the women, and to generate awareness about various welfare measures initiated by the Government, the Destitute And Welfare Association (DAHWA) held several rural awareness-cum-public grievances camps in various villages in Majalta, Udhampur.
Major thrust of these camps was to seek the attention of the targeted segment of population towards various schemes aimed at their socio-economic emancipation and to motivate them to derive optimum benefits. The resource personnel of DAHWA gave an account of the initiatives taken by the Government to enhance the quality of life of the people by way of empowering them and launching various community development schemes to ensure basic services.
At Mansar, the locals projected demands related to their areas, which mainly pertained to construction of lanes and drains at SC Mohalla near PHC, acute shortage of drinking water supply at Kattal and Jasoor besides water supply to the reservoirs constructed under Gambhir WSS project. At Bharanara, the people demanded installation of electric poles and water connections in Megh Mohalla besides opening of new anganwari center at Mohalla Pir Galli Bharnara.
Similarly at Dhema, the locals demanded water connections as just 20 per cent of the population has been covered under tapped water, the local Sarpanch said.
Chairperson DAHWA, S.S.Sumbria, dwelt on the programmes aimed at rural empowerment and assured the people that their association will help them get maximum benefit of these schemes.
