Jammu and Kashmir New Schemes List 2020
Jammu and Kashmir has always been in the new for the wrong reasons. The central government was forced to take a strict measure a few days back. The law and order in the state was in poor condition. Additionally, the terror threats from Pakistan and military intimidations from China are other two aspects, which are hindering the peaceful existence of the people in the state. The central government finally put the foot down and declared the activation of Article 370 in the entire state. This act, along with the implementation of the 35A Act highlights that the people, living within the state borders of Jammu and Kashmir will be subjected to new rules and laws. The central government has to pass a motion in the parliament, and then it was signed by the president of India.
A new government in Jammu and Kashmir
The state legislature of Jammu and Kashmir will remain in the house, but its policy making powers have been reduced considerably. Currently, the government of Jammu and Kashmir will continue to operate under the watchful eyes of the governor. The present governor of the state is Satyapal Malik. Once the central government passed the motion, the governor got the power to make the necessary changes.
The governor’s opinion
Prior to the central government’s interference, the governor of Jammu and Kashmir was aware of the lawlessness situation in the state. He opined that there was no social security or financial security for the common residents of the state. These alarming conditions were a major reason why very few tourists were interested in visiting the region. Jammu and Kashmir is known for its scenic beauty. The natural beauty and lofty mountains act as magnets, which pull tourists. Due to lack of tourism, the overall economy of the state was also going to the dogs. According to many, the central government took the right decision by transferring the majority of the decision making powers into the hands of the Jammu and Kashmir Governor. After much deliberation, the central government has finally abolished both Article 370 and 35A restrictions. But the governor is still at the head of the authority.
New development plans
After removing the constitutional restrictions, the Jammu and Kashmir Governor decided to take matters in his hands. His primary aim is to offer security and financial stability to the people. Additionally, he desires to bring out holistic development in villages as well as the cities. In this bid, he has announced a list of new government schemes, which will benefit the residents of Jammu and Kashmir. The government schemes cover all sections, and can change the face of the state if implemented properly. The Governor has published a list that consists of 85 new developmental and reformative projects. Finance, agriculture, rural and urban development, human resource development, power production and distribution, social security for the people and trade –related sectors have been included in these reform schemes. Proper implementation of all these schemes will revamp the socio-economic condition of Jammu and Kashmir for good.
