NEW DELHI,10 : Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha addressed the ‘Sushasan Mahotsav 2024’ organized by Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini in New Delhi, today.
On the occasion, the Lt Governor highlighted the transformational journey of J&K from misgovernance to good governance under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi after the abrogation of Article 370.
“Good Governance is the key to a Nation’s progress. The mantra and the guiding principle of ‘Citizen- First’ of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, has inspired and helped to evolve J&K’s new model of Good Governance, which is called ‘Future Ready Governance’,” the Lt Governor said.
J&K’s ‘Future Ready Governance’ is future-driven, tech assisted and human-centric. We have developed a powerful conceptual framework, clearly specifying what each of these 3 terms means, and how they are intrinsically integrated for creating a holistic and futuristic model for Good Governance, he said.
He said the UT Administration has already initiated pilot projects, to work both as Proofs of Concept and as also models for communicating the novel and innovative ideas embedded in the framework.
We are concurrently setting up new adaptive and resilient systems, to develop organizational capacity to deliver precisely and effectively to each citizen, the Lt Governor further added.
The Lt Governor said the Human-Centric element of Future-Ready Governance will have two components.
The first will focus on all governmental employees, with a view to empower and energize them as the lead instrument of transformation. The second will focus on citizens as partners in developing our priorities and working modalities, in sync with their needs and aspirations, he observed.
Addressing the special session on UT of Jammu Kashmir, the Lt Governor shared the reforms and the vision of the Administration to improve policy performance and address future challenges.
Future Ready Governance is not a theoretical concept or a model. For us, this is the beginning of the journey to impact and improve the life of every person in Jammu & Kashmir, he observed.
“We intend to equip ourselves fully to develop “Future-Driven” strategies and will continue to blaze new pathways for this journey,” the Lt Governor said.
He said the Administration is looking at scientific tools like Artificial Intelligence & Big Data based Strategic Foresight to be able to visualize evidence and data-based future scenarios.
We are considering the setting up of “Centre for New Age Governance” (CNAG), for providing necessary knowledge inputs and capacity building support, the Lt Governor observed.
The Lt Governor also paid homage to Pandit Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Shri Rambhau Mhalgi, and remembered their significant contributions to the nation building.
Dr. Vinay Sahasrabuddhe, Vice-Chairman, Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini; Sh Harshvardhan Tripathi, senior Journalist; prominent personalities from diverse fields and members of Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini organization were present. (KS)
