Six-day Bharat Nirman public information campaign concludes

Jammu, Sep 3 (UNI) The six-day Bharat Nirman public information campaign, which was organised to create awareness among the people about central projects and schemes, concluded at Kishtwar in Doda district last evening.

Speaking at the conclusion, local MLA and Social Welfare Board Chairman Ghulam Mohammad Sadori asked people to take advantage of central schemes.

''the centre has approved the Prime Minister's new 15 point programme for welfare of minorities to enhances opportunities for education and ensure equitable share in economic activities and employment besides improvement in the living conditions of minorities in the country,'' he said.

Mr Sadori said the 15 point programme has been recast to focus action sharply on issues intimately linked with the social, educational and economic uplift of minorities and provide for earmarking of outlays in certain schemes so that the progress can be monitored.

''the cabinet also decided that 15 per cent of the funds need to be earmarked wherever possible in relevant schemes and programmes for the minorities," he added.
