Under the vital leadership of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha and Chief Secretary Arun Mehta, Jammu and Kashmir is celebrating “Brastachar Mukt Week” from September 4 to September 10 as a significant step towards promoting good governance and tackling corruption. The region is about to enter a new age of accountability and openness thanks to this committed week-long endeavor.
The UT administration is committed to eradicating corruption and putting in place transparency in government procedures. A strong declaration reiterating this commitment, “Brastachar Mukt Week” is more than just an event. In an effort to eradicate corruption from the very bedrock of society, it seeks to include individuals, public servants, and diverse stakeholders.
Awareness:
One of the most critical aspects of this initiative is raising public awareness. Citizens play a pivotal role in curbing corruption by reporting any instances of malpractice they encounter. During this week, various awareness campaigns will be organized across Jammu and Kashmir, with a focus on educating people about the adverse effects of corruption and the methods available for reporting it safely and confidentially.
Workshops & Seminars:
Furthermore, workshops and seminars will be conducted to sensitize government employees about the detrimental impact of corruption on the development and progress of the region. The administration believes that an educated and motivated workforce is essential in promoting clean governance.
In addition to awareness and education, “Brastachar Mukt Week” will also see the implementation of various anti-corruption measures within the government machinery. The state administration, under the guidance of Chief Secretary Arun Mehta, is committed to streamlining administrative processes, reducing bureaucratic red tape, and ensuring that public services are delivered efficiently and without any corrupt practices.
Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha’s Statement:
Corruption is a threat that impedes the development and prosperity of our region, according to the lieutenant governor Manoj Sinha. With “Brastachar Mukt Week,” we are significantly removing this obstacle to development. We want to see accountability and openness become the norm rather than the exception in Jammu and Kashmir.
Chief Secretary Dr. Arun Mehta’s Statement:
Arun Kumar Mehta, the Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir, claims that since all services are now provided online, there is no longer any prospect of corruption in the Union Territory. He said that different programs and platforms have increased system transparency and prevented any funds from being illegally taken out of the public coffers. All services are now available online due to the UT administration’s initiative. The goal is to establish a setting free from corruption. A previous statement said that less than 10 paise of a rupee would reach the ground. A technique where the full rupee touches the ground has been introduced today.
This initiative aligns with the broader national agenda of fostering clean governance and has received praise from anti-corruption activists and civil society organizations. It sends a powerful message that Jammu and Kashmir is resolute in its commitment to creating a corruption-free environment where every citizen can prosper without hindrance.
As Jammu and Kashmir embark on this crucial week to combat corruption, the hope is that the collective efforts of the government and the people will pave the way for a brighter, more transparent, and prosperous future for the region. “Brastachar Mukt Week” is not just an event—it’s a declaration of intent to build a better tomorrow for the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
