JAMMU: Union Minister in Prime Minister’s Office Jitendra Singh has adopted another remote village in mountainous Kishtwar district for its all round development.
“To improve the lot of most downtrodden and economically weaker sections of the society is the sacrosanct vision and goal of the BJP,” Dr Singh told reporters here this afternoon.
He said that after having adopted Shangli, Saddal and Humble villages of Kathua, Udhampur and Doda districts respectively, he now adopted Bhattan village of Kishtwar district for special development efforts.
“Local MLA of Kishtwar Sunil Sharma identified the village which will be taken up for special development,” he said, adding, “the village has been found to be actually very backward, without any normal facilities of health, education and electricity. More than 95 per cent of the population is BPL and thus imminently suited for being adopted for special development effort on the part of the government.”
The MP from Kathua-Udhampur-Doda parliamentary constituency, who adopted Bhattan as 4th village during a short period of just seven months, said that the Narendra Modi led government at the Centre is committed to make special efforts for improving the lot of most backward villages in whole of the country and this adoption of Bhattan by him forms part of that agenda.
