Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday said that the rule of law has been firmly established in Jammu and Kashmir, paving the way for progress and development.
Addressing a function here, the Lieutenant Governor stressed on the need for collective efforts to transform J&K into an educational, research, and technological hub of the country.
“We have to try to transform J&K, and for that, everyone must contribute. We have achieved many successes, with the rule of law being given paramount importance. An attempt has been made to ensure that J&K is governed strictly according to legal principles,” he said.
Highlighting the region’s rapid development, the Lieutenant Governor revealed that 92,000 projects were completed in the last financial year.
He said that J&K has emerged as a leading technological Union Territory, with maximum online services available to the public.
During his address, the Lieutenant Governor stressed the importance of ensuring equal rights and opportunities for women in Jammu and Kashmir.
He called for greater efforts in empowering women beyond welfare measures, ensuring their active participation in the region’s development.
“We must ensure that women enjoy the same rights as men. Over the past four and a half years, every effort has been made to guarantee women’s rights and integrate them into the development process. A new team of women entrepreneurs must be created, and their numbers should match those of men,” he asserted.
