On a warm autumn afternoon, under crimson Chinars at Sher-i-Kashmir Park, Showket Ahmed Bhat, an official deputed by the Jammu and Kashmir Handloom and Handicraft department is busy explaining to a group of females the government schemes, eligibility criteria and documents required to avail the schemes. There are officials from Animal Husbandry, Agriculture, Horticulture, Social Welfare, Revenue, Education, Housing Board and Floriculture also disseminating information through brochures, banners and booklets containing all the relevant information regarding their schemes.
On second day of the programme, the crowd in the Park was thin as compared to other locations like Ganjbaksh Park in old city Nowhatta.
“As the location is away from residential areas, maybe that is the reason for the low response of people,” said Zahid Ahmed, the official deputed by housing and urban development department. “Only five people have turned up”.
After the conclusion of Back to Village Phase 3 (B2V3’ on October 19, the Manoj Sinha administration announced My Town My Pride to reach out to people in towns and deliver services at doorsteps. Though the systems in democratic set-ups are supposed to work round the year, the administration tried to fill the gulf created by the absence of political representatives by sending the officers to village under B2V and now to towns.
More than 45 departments established their stalls at all eight locations in the city for public awareness, grievance redressal, and enrolment under beneficiary schemes.
