“This Government’s approach has always been to bring solutions to the people, rather than asking them to travel long distances for assistance,” he said, while addressing a Public Darbar, here today.
Emphasizing that the Modi Government remains steadfast in resolving public issues at their doorsteps, the Minister said that the Public Darbar is a prime example of the Government’s efforts to ensure that no citizen is left unheard.
“We believe in proactive governance that works at the grassroots level and targets saturation of welfare initiatives at doorstep of people even in remote corners of the country,” he said.
Highlighting the achievements of Modi Government during the last 11 years, Dr Jitendra Singh said that successful implementation of numerous public welfare schemes transformed the lives of millions of Indians.
“Schemes like Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana, Ayushman Bharat, Ujjwala Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, etc have benefited millions of people and these initiatives demonstrate the Government’s commitment to social welfare and economic development,” he said.
During the Public Darbar at this peripheral location of district Udhampur, Dr Jitendra met with people, personally listened to their concerns and resolved several issues on the spot. This was one of the series of similar Public Darbars regularly held by the Minister in different parts of his Udhampur-Kathua-Doda Lok Sabha constituency.
At the event, aimed at bringing Government services directly to the people, senior officers from the administration were present who included Deputy Commissioner Udhampur, Saloni Rai; SSP Udhampur, Amod Nagpure, Chief Medical Officer Dr Anil Manhas as well as senior officials from PWD, PHE, Forest Department, Rural Development etc.
The event also saw the participation of several public representatives including DDC Chairman Lal Chand, MLA Sunil Bhardwaj, DDC members as well as prominent local leaders Rajinder Sharma, Rajkumari, Vikas and others.
During the Darbar, Dr Jitendra Singh interacted with several public delegations, addressing a wide range of concerns faced by the residents of Ramnagar and other rural areas and Panchayats in the region. Many matters were resolved on the spot, with the Minister ensuring swift action and immediate solutions to issues raised by the public.
Several key issues, including infrastructure development, healthcare services and connectivity, were discussed, with Dr Jitendra Singh assuring the public that their concerns would be prioritized for immediate redressal.
The Public Darbar saw active participation from the local community, with citizens expressing their gratitude for the Government’s responsiveness and direct engagement with the people.
Dr Jitendra Singh reiterated the importance of grassroots outreach and said that such Public Darbars should be institutionalized as part of regular governance mechanism, fostering transparency, trust, and timely action.
