Jammu Tawi, Feb 17: Jammu Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Monday emphasized the role of public-private partnerships to empower youth by improving infrastructure, providing opportunities and opening up new avenues in diverse sectors in the Union Territory.
“Public-Private Partnerships can provide us an extensive network of skilling and entrepreneurship projects and we can take these facilities to the grassroots levels,” Sinha said.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating the first-edition of Sikh Cricket Premier League here, the lieutenant governor said he strongly believes that socio-economic goals of development and empowerment of youth should be made through public-private partnerships.
He congratulated the All J&K Sikh Coordination Committee for playing a vital role in empowering the Sikh community and preserving its rich heritage through such innovative programs, while fostering a sense of pride and responsibility towards the society and the nation among its youth.
“Our youth from the Sikh community represent the very pivot around which socio-economic growth and transformation of the society takes a new shape and to ensure this we are working with dedication for mainstreaming of Sikh youth into the development process,” he added.
The lieutenant governor also highlighted his resolve to develop a robust ecosystem where the Sikh community members, especially the youth have access to opportunities and make meaningful contributions to the society.
Chairman All Jammu Kashmir Sikh Coordination Committee S. Ajit Singh, presidents of District Gurdwara Prabandhak Committees, heads of various Sikh organisations, players, coaches and a large number of youth were present on the occasion.
