It may be recalled that two years back, in a first of its kind initiative, the Government of Jammu and Kashmir embarked on an ambitious and extensive programme of reaching out to the people at the grassroots level. The landmark initiative in urban areas, called ‘My Town My Pride’, with a focus on – Public outreach in towns, Service Delivery at doorsteps, and Strengthening Grassroot Democracy, was a huge success in its first version conducted in October 2020. People participated in large numbers in the “My Town My Pride ’programmes, and it gave the Government a much better insight on various issues considered important by the people in urban areas.

To meet the expectations of the urban populace, it was decided to launch the 2nd iteration of the programme, ‘My Town My Pride 2.0’ across all the urban areas of J&K. This programme involved the people of J&K and government officials in a joint effort to deliver the mission of equitable development in urban areas.

The programme was aimed at energizing Urban Local Bodies and directing development efforts in urban areas through community participation. As part of this programme, more than 170 senior officers of the Government reached out to Urban Local Bodies in J&K, where they interacted and obtained feedback from the grassroots, so as to tailor the government efforts in improving delivery of services specific to that area.

Simultaneously, routine issues related to delivery of services were also resolved at the special camps arranged by departments at the venue of the programme itself and through a weeklong “Shahri Jan Abhiyan”.

Apart from this, a major focus in the second iteration of the My Town My Pride Programme was the Municipal Finances and preparation of City Specific Plans to enable our towns and cities embark upon the journey of becoming Aspirational Towns.

As in the case of the ‘Back to Village’ programme, this programme was also conceived with the objective of ensuring that developmental initiatives are built on the feedback and cooperation of the people, thus being more result oriented, with greater probability of success than those which are top down. The programme revolves around the concept that while the official machinery must guide and assist, the primary responsibility to improve local conditions rests with the people themselves. Therefore, they must be encouraged to own a programme so that benefits are maximized. Therefore, the essence of this programme is to emphasize the importance of ensuring, people’s participation, not merely as an agent in the execution of the development works but as owners of the entire programme.

While the two days ‘My Town My Pride 2.0’, preceded by the weeklong “Shahri Jan Abhiyan” culminated on 6th December 2022, the journey of our towns for rapid transformation will continue, led by the respective visiting officers, designated as “Prabhari Officers”.

This initiative is yet another milestone in achieving long term objective of strong and vibrant urban local self-governance in J&K a reality.
