Dr. Jitendra Singh outlined how Vision 2047 would impact both globally and domestically, stressing that while we view 2047 through the prism of 2024, many current concepts will become obsolete. He drew a parallel with the advent of television in the 1950s, which transformed US presidential politics in 1960 and compared this to India\u2019s current standing among the world\u2019s leading nations, a status he attributed to PM Modi\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n
Dr. Jitendra Singh asserted that the \u201cDouble Engine Government\u201d at both the Centre and in J&K will be a boon, focusing on three key areas of transformation: a) Democratisation of Democratic Institutions: Revamping and expanding democratic processes.b) Governance Through Self-Governance: Enhancing local self-governance and administrative efficiency. C) Development by Exploring Unexplored Sectors: Unlocking new development opportunities, such as the innovative Agri-Startup through Aroma Mission, which has created employment and entrepreneurial avenues for thousands of youths in the region.<\/p>\n
He recalled past inefficiencies in local governance and electoral processes, such as the election of representatives with minimal vote share. Dr. Jitendra Singh highlighted his opposition to this practice in Parliament and proposed to establish a minimum threshold for electoral representation.<\/p>\n
Dr. Jitendra Singh noted that in the past five years, historic changes have led to blooming democratic aspirations and a stable, peaceful J&K. He pointed out that overall voter turnout in recent Lok Sabha elections was nearly 60%, almost\u00a0 matching the national average. He underscored the importance of J&K\u2019s integration into the mainstream.<\/p>\n
The Minister lauded the CPGRAMS model for grievance redressal, which ensures a nearly 97-98 percent disposal rate. He also mentioned technological advancements, such as drone mapping for farmers, which are empowering local communities.<\/p>\n
Dr. Jitendra Singh recalled PM Modi\u2019s announcement from the Red Fort about eliminating the interview process to ensure equal opportunity, a reform that was only implemented in J&K after Governor\u2019s rule. He also highlighted the shift to self-attestation, reducing bureaucratic hurdles for ease of governance.<\/p>\n
Addressing the potential for development, Dr. Jitendra Singh noted that despite J&K\u2019s wealth of natural resources, development was stymied by unexplored sectors. He cited the Shahpur-Kandi project, which had been stalled for years but is now on track due to special efforts and PM Modi\u2019s priority. He also predicted that Kishtwar will emerge as a power hub for North India, addressing previous neglect of projects like Rattle.<\/p>\n
Dr. Jitendra Singh emphasised India\u2019s remarkable achievements under PM Modi\u2019s leadership, including rising to the 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0leading startup destination globally, a significant increase in the number of StartUps, and improved rankings in the Global Innovation Index. He highlighted India\u2019s transition from being among the fragile five economies in 2005 to now being in the top five, with expectations to rise further.<\/p>\n Dr. Jitendra Singh concluded by affirming that with the continued patronage of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and\u00a0 Chief Minister in the state, the \u201cDouble Engine Government\u201d holds promise for J&K to play a pivotal role in India\u2019s future growth story and the realisation of Vision India @2047.<\/p>\n Addressing a press conference here today, Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh laid out the ambitious Vision J&K @2047, and said \u201cDouble Engine Government will drive Vision J&K @2047\u201d describing it as an integral part of Vision India @2047.
