He stated that Baramulla has emerged as a leading district in the implementation of development programmes and serves as a model for other aspirational regions.

MLA Pattan, in his remarks, appreciated the work done by the administration and supporting staff. He said, “Programmes like Sampoornata Abhiyan reflect the government’s commitment to equitable development. Baramulla’s performance is an encouraging example of what focused teamwork and mission-driven governance can achieve.”

Addressing the occasion, Deputy Commissioner acknowledged the efforts of the field staff, frontline workers, and officials for their coordinated work, which has led to tangible progress across various sectors. He added that the district administration remains committed to delivering inclusive development and effective public service delivery.

The event provided an opportunity for departments to take stock of their performance under the Abhiyan and to continue efforts toward strengthening service delivery and improving developmental indicators across the district.
