The government of Jammu and Kashmir is working on a new budget that will focus on the needs of its people. Chief Minister Omar Abdullah announced that this budget will be different because it will include input from local leaders. He wants to make sure the budget reflects what the people of Jammu and Kashmir actually want.
Abdullah has started talking with legislators and leaders from District Development Councils (DDCs). These are people who have been elected by the community, so they know what their areas need. He believes it’s important to listen to these representatives because they have the trust of the people. Their ideas will help create a budget that truly helps the community.
By involving local leaders, the Chief Minister is changing how the budget is made. Instead of just happening in government offices, it’s now a collaborative process. This means that money can be used more effectively to address the specific needs of different regions. This new budget is expected to prioritize important areas like better roads and buildings, improved schools, better healthcare, and more job opportunities. These improvements will be customized to fit the unique challenges and possibilities of each district.
These discussions and meetings are expected to continue for several weeks. Many different people will share their ideas about what should be prioritized and how to generate income for the state. The final budget is scheduled to be revealed in the coming months. It’s hoped that this budget will lead to economic growth and positive changes for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
