Jammu: The Lieutenant Governor of Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir  Manoj Sinha on Monday inaugurated the first-ever edition of the Sikh Cricket Premier League in Jammu, saying that inclusive growth for J&K envisions socio-economic growth for all sections of the society. 

Speaking with the media, LG Sinha said, “It is not just a sporting event, but a cultural and social initiative that reflects the commitment to holistic community development and aims to build a brighter future for the youth of the Sikh community in J&K.”

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. 

“Today, Jammu Kashmir is working for inclusive growth, which means socio-economic growth of all sections of society. Such initiatives hold the key to equitable growth and socio-economic change. It also promotes the ideals and values of unity, discipline and harmony,” he claimed. 

He also emphasised the role of Public-Private Partnerships to empower youth by improving infrastructure, providing opportunities and opening up new avenues in diverse sectors. 

“I strongly believe that socio-economic goals of development and empowerment of youth should be made through public-private partnerships. It can provide an extensive network of skilling and entrepreneurship projects and we can take these facilities to the grassroots levels. In 2020, I will initiate public-private partnership projects. Even today, we are also creating an enabling policy environment in which youth’s concerns can be reflected, and redressed in a speedy manner,” he further claimed.

He also claimed to develop a robust ecosystem where the Sikh community members, especially the youth have access to opportunities and make meaningful contributions to society.
