“With inclusive, integrated, and speedy development, J&K UT is on the move to contribute in realising the vision of making India 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047,” LG wrote on twitter after attending the 8th Governing Council Meeting of NITI Aayog at New Delhi chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
According to reports, LG highlighted the region's inclusive policies and efforts to integrate all communities, with a specific focus on expediting development across diverse sectors.
He also expressed gratitude to the central government for its unwavering support and guidance in implementing various developmental programs.
He emphasized the UT's commitment to leveraging its rich cultural heritage, natural resources, and strategic location to create an ecosystem conducive to rapid growth and progress.
