NEW DELHI : President Pranab Mukherjee today said Jammu and Kashmir occupies a place of enormous importance in the agenda of the government which has endeavoured to create a conducive and enabling environment in the state, especially for various displaced segments of its population.
“Jammu and Kashmir occupies a place of enormous importance in the agenda of my government. Government has endeavoured to create a conducive and enabling environment in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, especially for the various displaced segments of its population. “This includes facilitating the rehabilitation of over 60,000 Kashmiri Pandits families. The government has taken effective steps in this regard. These include, inter alia, providing government jobs, economic opportunities and security,” the President said in his address to a joint sitting of both the Houses of Parliament to mark the beginning of Budget Session.
Mr Mukherjee said during the recent unprecedented flood situation in the state, the government made special efforts in collaboration with the state government to minimise the impact of disaster and augment rehabilitation measures. “The nation is deeply indebted to our armed forces and paramilitary forces for the outstanding service rendered during the relief operations to flood-affected people in Jammu and Kashmir,” he added.
