Bandipora, Nov 03 (KNC): The Deputy Commissioner (DC) Bandipora, Indu Kanwal Chib, today chaired a meeting of the District Level Implementation Committee (DLIC) at the Mini Secretariat, Bandipora, to review and approve cases under Mission YUVA.
During the meeting, 106 cases were presented, of which 82 were approved after detailed scrutiny. The remaining cases were referred back to the concerned departments for feasibility verification before resubmission.
The DC directed that DLIC meetings will be held every Monday to ensure regular monitoring and timely disposal of cases. She also reviewed the overall progress of Mission YUVA in the district, including cases forwarded to banks, sanctioned, disbursed, and rejected, to assess implementation status.
Indu Kanwal Chib emphasized the need for in-depth analysis to identify areas with fewer or no applications and those with maximum participation. She instructed the Cluster Head of J&K Bank to submit branch-wise data and directed the Employment Officer to furnish village-wise details to ensure balanced coverage across all blocks and branches.
The Nodal Officer of JKEDI was asked to explore sectors and sub-sectors with higher participation for targeted interventions to achieve saturation at the block and branch levels.
The DC stressed detailed verification of every case to ensure transparency and accountability. She said Mission YUVA should not be confined to trading activities and urged officers to guide youth toward diverse entrepreneurial avenues.
The Pollution Control Officer was tasked with monitoring cases prone to environmental violations to ensure compliance with statutory norms. Reiterating the directions of the Chief Secretary, the DC emphasized engaging rehabilitated youth and terror victims under Mission YUVA to provide sustainable livelihood opportunities.
The meeting was attended by the General Manager DIC Bandipora, District Social Welfare Officer, District Nodal Officer JKEDI, Lead Bank Manager, Cluster Head J&K Bank Bandipora, District Officer PCB, and other concerned officers.—(KNC)
