Stressing on improving quality and efficiency in administration, the Chief Minister on Saturday said the work culture disseminated by the more than two decades long turmoil in the State, has to be rebuild brick by brick so that people feel the change.
She said the government functionaries shall have to perform or face the consequences as the things are not moving at the desired pace because of lackadaisical approach at various levels. She was speaking in Legislative Council today, an official spokesperson said this evening.
“We need a strong and motivated work force to ensure that the fruits of development reach to every citizen of the state,” she said and added the critical developmental issues have to be brought forward and addressed with motivation and fresh resolve.
Calling for appropriate blending of welfare and growth measures to build a community of common destiny that would contribute to J&K’s overall prosperity, the Chief Minister said good governance can be ensured only through a concerted effort by various stakeholders including political executive, legislators, bureaucracy, media and the common men and women of Jammu and Kashmir.
“The focus areas for our Government include infrastructure development in key sectors like road communication, drinking water, power, health, tourism, education, and rural and urban development,” she said and added the Government will have to at the same time address the issues concerning youth, women, unemployed and young entrepreneurs.
“We have to use talent, trade, tradition and technology to take the state to newer heights in development,” Ms Mehbooba said and added that there is a pressing need to put in place a wide-ranging strategy on tackling unemployment, which undoubtedly is one of the most dangerous time bombs ticking in the state.
