Good Governance

There have been multiple initiatives taken by J&K administration to make the system responsive to the needs of the people.  Recently Chief Secretary Dr Arun Kumar Mehta and Secretary Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievances, Government of India, V Srinivas today released four case studies of Good Governance Initiatives of Jammu and Kashmir.

The four initiatives are Back to Village, Empowerment (Janbhagidari) Portal, Jammu and Kashmir Bank – A story of transformation and Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Aarogya Yojana. He highlighted the stellar journey of development during the last five years and said that the transformation has been phenomenal.

He said that from a largely no tender system to a complete 100 percent e- tendering process is not a small transformation and the manner in which people have adopted the change is extremely commendable.  He said that the engine of change since 2019 in JK has fundamentally changed JK forever and JK should probably be number one in terms of systems transparency.

He highlighted that in terms of Good Governance, JK has been on the forefront on aspects. He said that JK is among the first to cross 1100 e-services and which we are really proud of.  He said that JK is saturated on many schemes as we are No 1 in Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, No 2 in Nasha Mukt Abhiyan and No 3 in Amritsarovar. He said that JK has been on a ranking of 1-5 on many initiatives and we have hope to  remain among the top five if not better than that. He said that on e-governance,  J&K  should not lag behind any state or UT on any parameter and urged officers to carry forward the process. He said that every work requires teamwork and thanked  the officers for being strong pillars of the team.
