Srinagar, February 10

Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said the UT Administration is looking at scientific tools like Artificial Intelligence and Big Data-based strategic foresight to be able to visualise evidence and data-based future scenarios.

“We are considering the setting up of centre for new age governance for providing necessary knowledge inputs and capacity building support,” Sinha added.

Sinha was addressing the ‘Sushasan Mahotsav 2024’ organised by Rambhau Mhalgi Prabodhini in New Delhi.

The L-G said J&K had a transformational journey from misgovernance to good governance under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the abrogation of Article 370. “J&K’s ‘Future Ready Governance’ is future-driven, tech-assisted and human-centric. We have developed a powerful conceptual framework, clearly specifying what each of these 3 terms means, and how they are intrinsically integrated for creating a holistic and futuristic model for good governance,” he said.

He said the UT administration has already initiated pilot projects, to work both as proofs of concept and as models for communicating the novel and innovative ideas embedded in the framework.

“We are concurrently setting up new adaptive and resilient systems, to develop organisational capacity to deliver precisely and effectively to each citizen,” the L-G said.

The Lt Governor said the human-centric element of future-ready governance will have two components. “The first will focus on all government employees with a view to empower and energise them as the lead instrument of transformation. The second will focus on citizens as partners in developing our priorities and working modalities, in sync with their needs and aspirations,” he added.
