LG Manoj Sinha addressing youth at Hindi Rangmanch event in Tagore Hall Srinagar

LG lauded the remarkable efforts of Samiti towards the promotion of the official language Hindi in Jammu Kashmir

In the last 75 years, Hindi has become the language that connects the country and our shared culture: LG Sinha

During the freedom struggle, Hindi language was considered the medium for expressing sentiments of the entire country: LG

Our policy makers had stressed that there should be harmony between Hindi language and other languages of the country: LG Sinha

The multiplicity of languages, the diversity of languages is a symbol of our cultural richness and unity in diversity: LG

Along with Hindi, we should be proud of all our languages. Apart from our mother tongue, we should also learn other languages and spread the cultural and literary heritage of those languages: LG Sinha

SRINAGAR, AUGUST 23: Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha today addressed the youth during an event “Hindi Rangmanch – Humari Bhasha, Humari Pehchaan” organized by Wadies Hindi Shiksha Samiti at Tagore Hall, Srinagar.

In his address, the Lieutenant Governor lauded the remarkable efforts of Wadies Hindi Shiksha Samiti towards the promotion of the official language Hindi in Jammu Kashmir.



“In the last 75 years, Hindi has become the language that connects the country and our shared culture. During the freedom struggle, Hindi language was considered the medium for exchanging sentiments of the entire country.

Hindi is not only a medium of communication but is also a symbol of pride, integrity, unity and identity for us Indians. It has played a very important role in weaving our diversity into the thread of unity.

Our policy makers had stressed that there should be harmony between Hindi and other languages of the country,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

The Lieutenant Governor observed that India is a multilingual country where 453 living languages are officially spoken and among these 453 languages, Hindi has been the connecting link for 140 crore Indians. He asked the youth to maintain linguistic harmony and learn and respect other languages.

Along with Hindi, we should be proud of all our languages. Apart from our mother tongue, we should also learn other languages and spread the cultural and literary heritage of those languages,” the Lieutenant Governor said.


Speaking about the discussion held in the Constituent Assembly on 14 September 1949, the Lieutenant Governor said that when the debate was going on in India on the selection of the official language, Hindi got the most support from those areas where Hindi was not spoken.

For our Freedom Fighters, Policy Makers, Hindi was linked to the identity of the nation. They saw Hindi as a thread of harmony and it has further enriched the diversity present in our cultural heritage, he said.

He also appreciated the endeavours of Culture Department and J&K Academy of Art, Culture & Languages to promote J&K’s linguistic heritage.

On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor felicitated the students, teachers and artists for their exceptional participation in a campaign launched by Wadies Hindi Shiksha Samiti in the month of June-July this year in four Kendriya Vidyalayas to generate interest in Hindi language among students of class 6th to class 10th through various activities.


Principal Secretary Culture, Shri Brij Mohan Sharma; Param Vir Chakra recipient (Honorary Captain) Yogendra Yadav; MD & CEO J&K Bank, Shri Amitava Chatterjee; Deputy Commissioner, KVS, Jammu, Shri Nagendra Goyal; National President Wadies Hindi Shiksha Samiti, Ms. Nasreen Ali Nidhi; senior officials, prominent literary personalities, heads of educational institutions and youth in large number were present.

 

CM Omar Abdullah delivering TEDx talk at JK Public School Kunjwani on Beyond Boundaries

JAMMU, AUGUST 22: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today addressed the TEDx event at JK Public School Kunjwani as chief guest, inspiring students to challenge limits and embrace the theme “Beyond Boundaries”.


Speaking to a hall full of students besides other eminent speakers and school administration, the Chief Minister said boundaries exist everywhere, in geography, politics, laws and borders, sometimes for good reasons, sometimes as restrictions. He noted that people often create self-imposed boundaries shaped by experiences or stereotypes. “These limits may be real or imagined, but every great exploration and advancement of civilisation has come from crossing boundaries,” he said.

Encouraging students to aim high, he urged them not to let boundaries hold them back. “Set lofty goals. Unless you test your limits, you cannot carve a unique identity for yourself,” he said. He advised them to speak up, ask questions and never let hesitation silence them. Gender, background or appearance, he added, should never be hurdles to achievement.

At the same time, he reminded students to distinguish between restrictive or imaginary boundaries and the laws of the land. “Go beyond boundaries, but do so lawfully. Goals must never be pursued by breaching the law,” he said.


“Set many goals and spend your life striving to achieve them. The pursuit itself is worthwhile, no matter what the outcome,” the Chief Minister told the gathering.

Other speakers who shared their ideas at the event included educationists such as Prof Amitabh Mattoo and Usha Mani.

Chief Minister Omar Abdullah chairs a high-level meeting on financial and social security schemes in Jammu and Kashmir.

CM Omar Abdullah calls for increasing coverage under social inclusion schemes

Reviews GST collection, revenue generation and implementation of District Capex plans

Stresses on immediate tendering and execution of works

SRINAGAR, AUGUST 20: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today chaired a high-level meeting to review the progress of financial inclusion schemes, social security coverage, district capex and progress of Constituency Development Fund (CDF) works programme. Chief Minister also reviewed the GST collection - tax and non-tax revenue for the current financial year.

The meeting was attended by the Advisor to the Chief Minister Nasir Aslam Wani, Additional Chief Secretary to the CM Dheeraj Gupta, all Administrative Secretaries, Deputy Commissioners of all districts, and other concerned, both in person and through virtual mode.


Principal Secretary Finance, Santosh D. Vaidya, gave a detailed presentation on the financial and social inclusion schemes, revenue generation trends and district-wise progress under capex and CDF works.

The Chief Minister noted tardy pace in uploading & tendering of works and issued  directions to all departments and districts to focus on revenue realization & social inclusion schemes and monitor progress on a monthly basis rather than leaving corrective measures to the last quarter of the financial year.

“Departments must not wait for February and March to chase revenue targets. Each department will receive specific communication from the Finance Department flagging their areas of concern and giving a six-month revenue target breakdown. They should start working on improving revenue realization today, with a clear monthly plan,” the Chief Minister stressed.

He further directed that Deputy Commissioners will be given district-specific instructions from the Finance Department, particularly regarding the coverage of social welfare schemes such as PM Jan Dhan Yojana, PM Suraksha Bima Yojana, PM Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, Atal Pension Yojana, Integrated Social Security Scheme, widow, old-age and disability pensions. He called DCs to find out reasons for drop in enrollment of account holders under PMJDY and other schemes.  “We will conduct another review of social welfare schemes after three months, and I expect to see a significant improvement in coverage at the district level,” Omar Abdullah said.

CM called for expediting finalization of works plans under the CDF and to upload the works on BEAMS portal. He gave instructions that MLAs be informed about the works included in the UT & District Capex plans which were prioritized by the MLAs during pre-budget meetings and to intimate them about works which were found unviable.

The Chief Minister cautioned that delays in revenue mobilization could force the government into difficult decisions such as imposing cuts in departmental expenditure. “If departments do not want to find themselves in a position where expenditure is curtailed, they must focus as far as possible on improving revenue realization. The responsibility lies with each department to ensure timely progress,” he emphasized.

During the meeting, it was noted that while social security schemes have shown impressive growth in recent years—with PMJDY account holders crossing 23 lakh, PMSBY enrollments touching 23.8 lakh account holders, and PMJJBY covering nearly 9.83 lakh individuals.

 Similarly, in respect of welfare schemes administered by Building & Other Construction Workers Board, the meeting was informed that 166.90 crore was disbursed to 2.5 lakh beneficiaries in 2024-25, yet active worker registration remains low, requiring expansion efforts.

The Chief Minister underlined the need to strengthen monitoring of both expenditure and revenue flows, ensure 100% uploading of works on BEAMS, and expedite accord of administrative approvals, tendering and execution of district capex works. He also called for intensified awareness campaigns to improve access to social security schemes and faster settlement of claims.

The Chief Minister reiterated his government’s commitment to social security, inclusive growth and fiscal discipline, while urging all departments and Deputy Commissioners to work in close coordination with the Finance Department to achieve the set targets.
