OCT 17:In a proud moment for Jammu and Kashmir, District Bandipora has created history by being declared the Best Performer in India under the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyaan (AKY) — a national initiative aimed at enhancing governance efficiency, capacity building, and citizen-centric service delivery.
The President of India, Smt. Droupadi Murmu, presented the prestigious award to Deputy Commissioner (DC) Bandipora, Dr. Indu Kanwal Chib, in recognition of her outstanding leadership, administrative innovation, and transformative governance practices that have set new benchmarks across the country.
The Adi Karmayogi Abhiyaan, launched by the Government of India, focuses on improving the delivery of public services and building a culture of continuous learning and performance among government officials. Bandipora district’s exceptional implementation of digital governance tools, people-first initiatives, and inclusive development strategies earned it the top position nationwide.
Under Dr. Indu Kanwal Chib’s dynamic leadership, Bandipora administration has undertaken numerous citizen-friendly reforms — from digital grievance redressal platforms and grassroots-level participatory planning to youth engagement programs and women empowerment initiatives. These efforts have not only improved service delivery but also strengthened trust between citizens and administration.
The district has also made significant strides in promoting transparency, leveraging technology, and ensuring that welfare schemes reach every section of society efficiently. Such initiatives reflect the spirit of the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyaan — building an agile, accountable, and responsive governance framework.
The national recognition for Bandipora is being hailed across Jammu and Kashmir as a testament to the region’s growing administrative excellence and innovative governance. The award serves as an inspiration for other districts to adopt forward-thinking models that combine efficiency with empathy, making governance truly people-centric.
This historic achievement reaffirms Jammu and Kashmir’s position on India’s development map as a hub of reform-driven governance and progressive leadership.
