KISHTWAR: To ensure the effective execution of Sewa Parv activities, scheduled to be observed from 17th September to 2nd October 2025, Deputy Commissioner Kishtwar Pankaj Kumar Sharma chaired a meeting with concerned district officers and heads of institutions to discuss the arrangements for the fortnight-long campaign.
The meeting focused on ensuring active public participation, inter-departmental convergence, and comprehensive community outreach, aligning with the spirit of Sewa Parv — a nationwide celebration of selfless service and inclusive development. As part of the launch of Sewa Parv 2025, a Mega Swachhta drive is scheduled to be held on 17th September 2025 (9:00 AM) at the historic Chowgan Ground.
The drive will witness active participation from officers and staff of all line departments. During the meeting, the officers briefed the DC on planned activities, including cleanliness drives, community meals for the needy, health check-ups camps, blood donation camps and nutrition awareness campaigns under health initiatives.
The meeting was also informed about the capacity-building workshops being held to promote key government schemes such as PM-KISAN, Ayushman Bharat, and other flagship initiatives. The campaign will also witness a variety of cultural and educational activities — including essay competitions, wall paintings, art and slogan contests, and donation drives for underprivileged students.
The DC directed key departments — including Jal Shakti ICDS, Forest, Education, Technical Education, Higher Education, Rural Development, Health, Municipality, ITI, Information, and Social Welfare — to organise targeted activities to ensure outreach at the grassroots level.
The meeting was attended by ADC Pawan Kotwal, PO ICDS Rishi Kumar Sharma, ACR Idrees Lone, DSWO Zubair Ahmed, DIO Dr. Kuldeep Kumar, DFO Marwah Vishal Chaudhary, CEO Sanjay Dogra, CMO Dr. Rajinder Kumar, other concerned officers and representatives from GDC Kishtwar, ITI, Government Polytechnic College.
