UT Leads In Achieving 75 Amrit Sarovars In Each District: CS

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Chief Secretary, Dr Arun Kumar Mehta expressed confidence that India is more than capable of achieving its goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2070 and said that it is high time we shifted away from fossil fuels and made alternate sources our main energy providers.
He was speaking at a workshop organised by the Jammu & Kashmir Pollution Control Committee here at the Convention Centre.
The interactive workshop on ‘Climate Change Mitigation and Green Financing for a Climate Resilient and Carbon Neutral J&K’ was attended by Dr.Mohit Gera, PCCF (HoFF), J&K Forest Department and Chairman, J&K Pollution Control Committee; Dr. Shakil Ahmad Romshoo, Vice Chancellor, Islamic University, Kashmir; HoDs of Forest Department, Dr. Ravindranath, renowned IPCC Author, and resource persons from MoEFCC, TERI, Earnest and Young Climate, World Resources Institute of India besides other eminent guests and environment experts.
Dr Mehta appreciated the efforts of the Pollution Control Committee and Jammu & Kashmir Forest Department for organizing deliberations on Net Zero Carbon by 2070. He informed that J&K has already made a model by developing a climate resilient and carbon neutral Panchayat of village Palliin District Samba which is first of its kind in the country.
According to Dr Mehta, Jammu & Kashmir has always been at the forefront of adopting flagship developmental schemes of the government.
‘The distinction of implementing the 75 Amrit Sarovars in each district amongst first in the entire country is a good example of how well J&K can adapt to the needs of the times with cooperation from its citizens. Similarly, schemes like “Har Gaon Hariyali”, “One Beat Guard, One village Program”, “Van Se Jal, Jal Se Jeevan” have been very effective in building in resilience and adaptation at village level.
J&K has been a leader in adopting transformative steps in the overhaul of sports, agriculture, and tourism sectors in recent years. The Chief Secretary stated that we are planting more trees every year than ever before and this year over one and half crore trees are going to be planted again all over J&K.
In terms of health infrastructure, Jammu & Kashmir ranks among the leading states of India. The Har Ghar Nal Se Jal scheme will also be fully implemented by the end of this financial year, he continued. The scheme aims to mitigate water supply challenges for the coming 50 years at least, in view of climate change.

The Chief Secretary stressed the importance of communicating climate change adaptation measures to the masses in a way that creates a genuine connection with them. To achieve this goal, the Chief Secretary emphasized the need to communicate with the public at all levels, including panchayats, in ways that creates public ownership.
The CS stressed that what is good for the environment is invariably good for the economy and society and underlined that infrastructure development of the states should not hamper our climate change mitigation steps.
Also, the Chief Secretary urged the environmental experts present to work out environmental plans for Jammu & Kashmir for timely intervention on behalf of the UT administration. The Chief Secretary expressed hope that J&K will continue taking a lead in India’s fight against climate change even in the years ahead.

HC Bans Proprietary Land Swap For Encroached Kahcharai Land In JK

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh Tuesday prohibited the exchange of proprietary land for encroached kahcharai land. “The exchange of proprietary land for encroached kahcharai land is not permissible now and the Deputy Commissioner concerned has no power to accept any such offer,” said the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh on Tuesday.
Justice Sanjay Dhar ruled in a plea seeking to exchange proprietary land for khacharai land that “the claim of the petitioner for grant of sanction to exchange proprietary land in lieu of kahcharai land is no longer permissible under law” due to changes in Section 133(2) of the Land Revenue Act.
The court noted that the petitioner had not provided any legal basis or statutory framework for the exchange and could not seek a Writ of Mandamus against the respondents.
“Even if there is any such policy for protecting the rights of small landholders who are in possession of kahcharai land, it shall be open to the respondents to deal with the case of the petitioner in accordance with such policy,” the bench added.

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Despite the generally successful performance of government schools, the Govt Middle School Khokarpora Adhal Vailoo located in the Kokernag area of Anantnag district has underperformed, with only one out of 25 students passing their 8th class examination. This outcome has sparked strong disapproval from the community.
Locals have reported that the government has employed six teachers to teach 25 students, but only one student has passed their board exams. They believe this issue should be investigated.
The community alleges that the teachers come to school only to pass the time and do not focus on teaching the students. They claim that when students fail their 8th grade exams, their future prospects become bleak as they cannot even write their own names.
The community believes that these teachers should be transferred and new teachers should be appointed to improve the quality of education for the students. They demand that the matter be investigated, and the teachers be held accountable for their poor performance.
In response to these allegations, Joint Director Education South Kashmir, Jahangir Ahmad Khanday, stated that they are currently investigating the reasons behind the students’ poor performance. He further stated that the department will take action against those who are found responsible for the students’ failure, after a thorough investigation is conducted. (KNO)
