KISHTWAR: In continuation of the 07-day Mega IEC Campaign “Jan Bhagidaari Sabse Door–Sabse Pehle”, the district administration Kishtwar is conducting a series of outreach programmes across remote tribal areas under the directions of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Pankaj Kumar Sharma and under the supervision of Additional District Development Commissioner (Nodal Officer) Vinod Kumar Behnal.
The initiative aims to strengthen last-mile delivery of government schemes, ensure awareness and achieve saturation coverage in far-flung tribal regions. On Day 2 of the campaign, the district administration organised Awareness and Benefit Saturation Camps at Panchayat Mori in Block Bounjwah and at Panchayat Chicha in Block Nagseni, focusing on inclusive service delivery for tribal communities.
The camps witnessed active participation of residents, public representatives and stakeholders, with concerned Block Development Officers leading the programmes and facilitating direct interaction between the tribal community and departments. The officials provided multiple services, including registration of eligible persons under financial inclusion schemes.
As many as 7 registrations each under PMJJBY and PMSBY were done at Panchayat Mori, along with filling of three Aadhaar seeding consent forms, while nine PMJJBY registrations, two PMSBY registrations and eight Aadhaar seeding consent forms were processed at Panchayat Chicha.
The departmental stalls were also setup by Animal Husbandry, Horticulture, FCS&CA, Education, J&K Bank, Lead Bank Office, Fisheries, Forest, PDD, ICDS, Health, Agriculture, Youth Services & Sports, Revenue, Polytechnic and ITI to disseminate scheme-related information and provide different services.
Further, the officials recorded 20 grievances at Mori of which 12 were resolved on the spot, while 11 of 13 grievances were resolved on the spot at Chicha, reflecting prompt administrative responsiveness.
Additionally, the locals were sensitised to flagship welfare schemes including PMJJDY, PMSBY, Mission YUVA, PM Ujjwala Yojana, and PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, along with other UT and Central Government welfare schemes.
A medical check-up camp by the Department of AYUSH provided healthcare consultations at Panchayat Chicha. Awareness sessions under the 100 Day Nasha Mukt J&K Abhiyan were also conducted at both locations to educate youth and local residents on the dangers of substance abuse.
Gram Sabhas were also convened, encouraging participatory governance and discussion on local development needs. The tribal community and local residents appreciated the outreach efforts, noting that such initiatives significantly bridge service gaps in remote areas and strengthen trust between communities and the administration.
