REASI: District Development Commissioner (DDC) Reasi Nidhi Malik today chaired a meeting to assess the implementation and progress of the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP). At the outset, detailed deliberations were held on the approval status of HADP applications, unit tracking, and new applications under the Jammu & Kashmir Competitiveness Improvement of Agriculture and Allied Sectors Project (JKCIP).
Welcoming the improved performance, the DDC noted that the HADP application approval rate has shown remarkable progress, rising from 39% to over 50% since the last review. While reviewing the department-wise performance, she directed officers to further increase approval rates and minimize pendency. The Departments with comparatively lower progress—such as Sheep Husbandry, Horticulture, and Animal Husbandry—were asked to focus more on timely approvals and implementation. She also underscored the importance of a robust unit tracking mechanism to keep a tab on the execution of schemes on the ground.
The Officers were instructed to send formal communications to the DC Office as well as their respective departmental heads regarding issues such as reallocation of targets under saturated components, so that the matter can be compiled and taken up with higher authorities.
In a key development, the DDC approved 58 new cases under JKCIP—38 submitted by the Fisheries Department and 20 by the Agriculture Department. These approved project proposals are expected to benefit a large number of farmers and stakeholders across the district, promoting sustainable and diversified agricultural growth.
Reiterating the significance of integrated and inclusive rural development, the DDC called for scaling up interventions across allied sectors including Animal Husbandry, Sheep Husbandry, Fisheries, Horticulture, Horticulture Planning & Marketing, and Sericulture. The meeting was attended by CPO Narinder Kumar, Chief Agriculture Officer, Chief Horticulture Officer, CAHO, LDM, and other concerned officers.
