Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha has outlined a transformative agenda for Jammu and Kashmir, encapsulated in his ‘4 Ps’ vision: Peace, Progress, Prosperity, and People First. This strategic blueprint is designed to foster comprehensive development across the Union Territory. According to Sinha, establishing enduring peace is paramount. The administration’s policy of zero tolerance towards terrorism, coupled with proactive measures to dismantle terror infrastructure and maintain order, has significantly improved security. Enhanced safety for citizens is creating a conducive atmosphere for economic activities. Rapid and multifaceted development forms the core of the ‘Progress’ pillar. The focus is on bolstering infrastructure, improving crucial links, and delivering public services more effectively, with notable advancements in highway networks and urban regeneration. The pursuit of shared prosperity is central to the third pillar. Strategies are in place to boost employment opportunities, draw in investments, and ensure that the fruits of economic expansion benefit every segment of the population, thereby eradicating poverty and cultivating self-reliance. The ‘People First’ principle signifies a governance model rooted in transparency, accountability, and responsiveness to citizen needs. This includes dedicated efforts to resolve public issues swiftly, strengthen grassroots democracy, and ensure equitable social justice, particularly for vulnerable groups. Digital governance and direct benefit transfers are key components. The administration views these ‘4 Ps’ as essential for Jammu and Kashmir’s journey towards regaining its status as a ‘Paradise’ and becoming a beacon of progress.
