Highlights three key pillars for holistic growth <\/strong><\/p>\n

Srinagar, May 13: Reiterating that Government of India is fully committed to the all-round development of border villages, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Wednesday said the \u2018Vibrant Village\u2019 Phase-2 program would focus on three key pillars for holistic growth.<\/p>\n

LG Sinha, according to the news agency\u2014Kashmir News Observer (KNO) visited \u2018Vibrant Village\u2019 Trehgam in Kupwara. During his visit, The Lieutenant Governor inaugurated and laid foundation stones for various projects. He also discussed needs and concerns of the villagers.<\/p>\n

While addressing the gathering LG Sinha said,\u00a0 \u201cUnder the leadership of PM Modi, Government of India is fully committed to the all-round development of border villages.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said that the Vibrant Village Phase-2 program outlines three key pillars for holistic growth. First, securing livelihoods by launching new cooperative societies, self-help groups, tourism circuits, and cottage industries, especially empowering women and youth. Second, ensuring physical and digital connectivity to every Vibrant Village, while building strong educational infrastructure. Third, ensuring full saturation of all central government and UT administration schemes. The infrastructure focuses on 4 thematic areas- all-weather road connectivity, telecom, television access, and electrification.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery village deserves All-weather roads, modern schools & abundant opportunities for the youth that is the vision driving us to transform Kupwara’s border villages into model villages post-2019. Together, we will turn our resolve into reality,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

He said that it is Central Government\u2019s commitment to ensure that every child of Trehgam receives the same quality education available in J&K\u2019s cities.<\/p>\n

I want farmers here to access superior seeds, reliable irrigation, and strong market linkages. Trehgam has made remarkable strides in self-employment, with 205 self-help groups and 85 units under Mission Youth already operational. The revival of the historic Sharda Temple in Teetwal has breathed new life into tourism sector. In 2018-19, only 6,900 tourists visited Kupwara, however, in 2024-25, that number surged to 3,77,000. I’m confident that in the next one or two years, every border village will script its own story of prosperity,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor recalled that he had visited Machil on 5th October, 2020, and Keran and Machil areas were connected with Grid Power after 70 years of waiting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that time, reliable power reached about 70% of families in Kupwara’s other villages. In just four years, we have extended it to nearly 95% of households. Telecom connectivity in border villages now stands at 88%. Concerned officials should ensure 100% coverage by the end of this year. Every family in border villages is serving the nation, and that service deserves honor in a transformed quality of life. Through PMGSY and PWD, we have already provided all-weather roads to 15 out of 16 Vibrant Villages in the past. Funding for the last one has arrived from the central government, and work will commence soon. We had planned grid power for every household in all 16 Vibrant Villages and so far 95% saturation has been achieved,\u201d the Lieutenant Governor said.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor said through a Whole of Government Approach, officials should dedicate themselves to achieve the target and link villages like Trehgam to the national mainstream.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor highlighted that the administration is looking beyond the government schemes and programmes to create sustainable opportunities for the youth of the villages like Trehgam.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds are being channeled into building stadiums and playgrounds across the region.<\/p>\n

The Lieutenant Governor also reiterated that the Government of India is committed to complete rehabilitation of terror victims and flood affected families.<\/p>\n

The project inaugurated by the Lieutenant Governor include establishment of 26 Smart Classrooms in 6 Vibrant Blocks under Aspirational District Programme. The projects for which the foundation stones were laid today are- development of Hill Top Playground, Trehgam, Kupwara at a cost of Rs 1.60 crore and development, renovation\/construction and preservation of Cultural Heritage site Shiv Temple at Trehgam, costing Rs 1.94 crores.<\/p>\n
