Baramulla- Calling upon people to isolate the elements who are trying to disrupt peace in the Union Territory, Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Tuesday that youth are the custodians of future and have a significant role to play in Jammu and Kashmir’s progress.
“Youth are the custodians of our future and they have a significant role to play in J&K’s progress. In order to provide an opportunity for our youth and sports persons to demonstrate their skills, we are making all possible efforts and this mission will continue in the future,” Sinha said after inaugurating several key infrastructure projects here on Tuesday.
The LG shared the vision of the government and the reforms introduced, under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, to accelerate the pace of socio-economic growth in all districts of Jammu Kashmir.
“Our initiatives in health, education, infrastructure, connectivity and emphasis on empowering women and youth have opened up a vast array of opportunities. Focus on balanced development is benefitting all sections of society and backward areas are being linked to the mainstream,” he said, while urging people to isolate those elements, who are trying to disrupt peace.
The LG called upon the PRI members and all the stakeholders for their active participation in effective implementation of the Holistic Agriculture Development Program (HADP) and other development endeavours of the government.
“Holistic Agriculture Development Program (HADP) offers an opportunity to empower 3/4th population of J&K UT. We have to ensure that Kisan Sampark Abhiyan benefits more farmers and subsequent interventions lead to sustained growth and development,” he said.
“India is leading the world in digital revolution, growth, and is set to become 3rd largest economy in the world. We must aim higher and create an environment for excellence, so that J&K can collectively contribute in realizing the dream of building our country as a global superpower,” he said.
Paying homage to the “Lion of Baramulla”, Maqbool Sherwani, the LG said the youth of Baramulla are scripting new milestones in various sectors and making significant contributions in nation building.
Earlier, the LG said that the projects dedicated to the public today have the potential to bring transformation not only in Baramulla district but in the entire Jammu Kashmir. He also laid the foundation stone of several projects.
“The upgradation of Narbal-Tangmarg road will further strengthen the connectivity,” he said.
He also congratulated the people, public representatives, Deputy Commissioner and the entire district administration for the ‘Excellence in Public Service Administration’ award to Baramulla in the Aspirational District category, conferred by the PM.
“This aspirational district has transformed itself into a centre of economic importance in the last few years. The quality of life that the citizens of Baramulla had dreamed for a long time is being fulfilled to a large extent,” he added.
Among others, the projects inaugurated by LG included Water Supply Schemes at Kreeri, Ushkura, Singhbagh and Cherdari and 6.3 MVA, 33/11 KV Receiving station Nehalpora.

J&K, Goa Enjoy Special Relationship: Sinha
Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha on Tuesday greeted the people of Goa on the occasion of Statehood Day.
“Jammu Kashmir and Goa enjoy a very ancient, special relationship and there has been an unbreakable, priceless bond between the sandy beaches of Goa and the hills and valley of Jammu Kashmir since the 4th Century,” Sinha said at a grand cultural event organized at Raj Bhawan to commemorate the celebration of Goa Statehood day.
He paid tributes to the brave patriots, who made the supreme sacrifice for the freedom of Goa.
The unique bond between Goa and J&K, the LG said is also the reflection of the spirit of Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat. He said that the foundation day of the state of Goa is also the day to connect the new generation with the ancient values blessed by the land of Vitasta, J&K and Mandovi River, Goa.
“People of Goa have shown exemplary entrepreneurship, providing enviable strength and self-confidence to its economic growth, be it tourism or fisheries. It is a confluence of glorious heritage of art, dance, drama, music and different modern culture,” he added.
The LG also remembered the contribution of great personalities like Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia; young revolutionary and the first martyr of Goa freedom movement Bala Raya Mapari of Azad Gomantak Dal, and the socialist leader Madhu Limaye, in the freedom struggle of Goa.
The captivating performances by the artists showcased the bouquet of culture and traditions of Goa and Jammu Kashmir.
On this day in 1987, Goa got full statehood and became the 25th state of the Republic of India.
