RAJOURI, Oct 28: To discuss the issues about developmental activities in the district, District Development Commissioner Rajouri, Rajesh K Shavan today convened first ever conclave of the elected representatives and District Officers at Town Hall here.
Detailed deliberations on the Capex budget 2021-22 were held in the meeting. The DDC asked the concerned officers to ensure that the works taken up under the Capex budget in the current financial year are completed within the set deadlines.
He also advised the public representatives to take the assistance of the Lokmitras for the effective implementation of the Government schemes and programs on the ground level.
During the public durbars organised in the district, the issue of lack of coordination between the officers of the line departments was projected by the public. DDC urged the elected representatives and officers to work with integrity, dedication and make outcome-based endeavours to yield fruitful results on the ground.
Stressing on time-bound redressal of public concerns, the DDC advised the public representatives and officers to make coordinated efforts to ensure that the genuine issues of the public are redressed in a time-bound manner to mitigate their sufferings.
He said that the PRIs and the members of the Urban Local Bodies have been given the power to monitor the developmental works and check their quality as per the 73rd and 74th Amendments and asked the public representatives to use this powerfully and ensure proper monitoring of the developmental works being carried out in their respective jurisdiction.
Throwing light on the importance of holding Gram Sabhas, he said that Gram Sabha is the fulcrum of the Panchayati Raj and village development. People use the forum of the Gram Sabha to discuss local governance and development and make need-based plans for the village. He asked the PRIs and officers to ensure that Gram Sabhas are organised regularly.
He also highlighted the benefits of the welfare schemes of the labour department and urged the public representatives to get all the labourers of the district registered with the Labour Department to avail the benefits of these schemes. He also asked the PRIs to get all the eligible beneficiaries registered under the SEHAT scheme to enable them to avail the necessary health benefits of the scheme.
The DDC also asked the DDC members and BDC Chairpersons to prepare the sanitation plans of all the panchayats in their respective jurisdiction and submit the same at the earliest.
He asked the concerned officers to maintain quality while executing the developmental projects and made it clear that no laxity shall be tolerated in this regard.
The DDC also asked for generating mass awareness among the public about various schemes and programs launched by the Government and motivating them to avail the benefits of the same.
