• PM-Surya Ghar Yojna adoption witnessing significant push in B'la with elected MLAs promoting the scheme: DC B'la

BARAMULLA: In a significant outreach initiative, Deputy Commissioner Baramulla, Minga Sherpa, today presided over an Awareness Camp cum Block Divas at Town Hall, Kunzer. The event was organized to bring government services closer to the public, address grievances, and raise awareness about various welfare schemes.

At the outset, the DC inspected the stalls set up by various departments, where officials provided detailed information about key government schemes like PM Surya Ghar (Muft Bijli Yojana), Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP), Vishwakarma Scheme, PMAY and other flagship schemes. These stalls aimed to ensure that locals could easily access the information and resources available under these schemes.

In a further effort to ensure transparency and effective communication, concerned officers briefed the local public through video screens, offering clear and visual explanations of the application processes, benefits, and eligibility criteria for each program which allowed for a more interactive and engaging experience for the public, helping them understand how to take advantage of these schemes.

During the camp, the DC interacted with the locals, listened to their concerns, and emphasized the importance of such outreach programs in addressing community issues and directed officers to ensure that grievances were resolved in a time bound manner, reiterating the administration’s commitment to timely service delivery and people-centric governance.

Furthermore, Minga Sherpa encouraged the public to take full advantage of the various government schemes designed to benefit local citizens, with a particular emphasis on the PM-Surya Ghar initiative, highlighting that the scheme has been specifically introduced to help households reduce their electricity expenses by promoting the adoption of solar energy. 

Later, Minga Sherpa distributed Sanction Letters, Ayush Cards, Land Passbooks and other certificates among eligible beneficiaries during the block diwas.  Camp was attended by DDC Member,  Nazir Ahmad Sheikh, Sub Divisional Magistrate Gulmarg, Syed Altaf Hussain Musvi, Superintendenting Engineer JKPDCL,Dalbir Singh, Tehsildar Kunzer, Syed Eyaad Qadri and other district and tehsil level officers besides large number of public of adjacent areas of kunzer tehsil.
