New Delhi
Election promises are made and some are fulfilled, and some are not. In the just concluded elections especially in Gujarat, the faceless voters have shown that a party and a government which delivers ought to be rewarded.
Thus, the BJP returned to power winning seven elections in a row.
Analysts admit that some of the developments that came for the saffron party was due to achieving the coveted goal of 'self sustaining' economic development with a focused approach for empowerment of people and transparency in governance.
Sources say the UT administration in Jammu and Kashmir is also striving hard to achieve this lofty target.
In Gujarat, observers know, things are transparent and there is always a focused approach on empowerment of women and other vulnerable sections.
Thus, there have been a number of "systematic reforms" introduced in the financial management system to enhance transparency and accountability in the functioning of the official and semi-official apparatus.
One such move with the hope of getting short term as well as long term dividends is setting up of
the Budget Estimation, Allocation and Monitoring System (BEAMS). Besides this, there have been steps
such as implementation of e-tendering and also JKPaySys.
There were steps such as IT-enabled EMPOWERMENT -- meaning - Enabling Monitoring and Public Overview of Works Being Executed and Resources for Meaningful Transparency portal - janbhagidhari.jk.gov.in.
"It is true financial discipline and rigorous monitoring has resulted in manifold increase in the rate
of project completion," says a source adding while in 2018 - that is before abrogation of Article 370 -
9229 projects were implemented, these increased to 12,637 in 2019-20 and 50,627 in 2021-22 and as many
as 65,000 in the current fiscal 2022-23.
There were works in the social sector in creating "livelihood for community".
The gross agricultural output which is to the tune of Rs 37559 crore per year will now
grow up to Rs 65,701 crore per year over next five years. There have been necessary steps
to implement National Education Policy - NEP - 2020 in letter and spirit.
Moreover, 500 Atal Tinkering labs shall be established and the administration will also set up free NEET coaching centres for government school students with meritorious records.
The administration will also try to achieve 'target oriented' citizen centric government business IT initiatives.
The UT administration is also on the way of achieving the cherished goal of Anemia Mukt and Nasha Mukt Bharat.
Steps are being taken for 'sectoral investable projects' for tourism, hospitality, healthcare and Ayush and Wellness sectors.
Sources further said the UT administration of J&K is also working on plans and various schemes to implement 'Integrated Healthcare and Education Delivery System'.
Under this, there will be 20 virtual Reality Labs to encourage scientific temperament and free NEET coaching, further enhance seats of doctors and para medicals to match the growing need and building of world class schools on the lines of international exposure.
Steps will be also taken to attract private sector and corporate participation and joint ventures for creation of medicities, the source added.
