Baramulla, Jun 12: Director Rural Development Department (RDD) Kashmir, Riyaz Ahmad Wani, on Friday said the implementation of major flagship schemes in Baramulla district has crossed 90 per cent.
“This reflects the commitment and hard work of officials at the grassroots level,” Wani, as told media persons here.
He said the government programmes, including MGNREGA, PM Gramin initiatives, rural sanitation schemes and other developmental projects, have achieved more than 90 per cent progress.
“The progress under these flagship programmes is appreciable. I congratulate the ground officials for their efforts and dedication. However, there is always scope for improvement,” he said.
The Director said that certain loopholes identified during the review process have been pointed out and would be addressed in the coming days to further strengthen implementation and ensure better outcomes. “We have identified the loopholes and will soon plug them to enhance efficiency and service delivery,” he said.
Wani also appealed to people, particularly unemployed job card holders, to actively avail the benefits offered under the schemes.
Highlighting the ongoing agricultural season, he urged beneficiaries to participate in desiltation works of irrigation canals being undertaken under MGNREGA.
“At present, desiltation of irrigation canals is being carried out as the farming season is in full swing. People, especially unemployed job card holders, should come forward and benefit from these works to support their livelihoods,” he said—(KNO)
