SUCHETGARH (JAMMU): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Jammu & Kashmir, organized a workshop on Viksit Bharat – Guarantee for Rozgar and Ajeevika Mission (Gramin) (VB-G RAM G) in Suchetgarh under District Jammu Border, while also highlighting the Central Government’s ₹1,430 crore relief package announced to address the extensive damage caused by incessant rains and flash floods in several districts of the Jammu region.

The workshop aimed at creating awareness about the flagship rural employment mission and reaffirming the BJP-led government’s commitment to both long-term development and immediate disaster relief.

He stated that the mission guarantees dignified employment and sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural households, ensuring economic security, skill development, and creation of durable community assets. He said that the VB-G RAM G is not merely a welfare scheme, it is a strong guarantee of self-reliance, social justice, and inclusive growth for rural India. It reflects Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s resolve to take development to the last mile and empower villages as engines of national progress, he said.

He further highlighted that in Jammu & Kashmir, where rural development was long neglected due to policy paralysis and dynastic politics, VB G RAM G will usher in a new era of balanced and sustainable development, ensuring that rural areas in remote border belts receive focused attention and opportunities.
