Reasi: Deputy Commissioner Reasi, Nidhi Malik inaugurated a three-day District Process Lab Training Programme under the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan Saturday in Katra, Saturday.
The training, scheduled from September 13–15, 2025, aims to strengthen governance and development initiatives in tribal areas by building the capacity of field staff. This programme follows the UT-level training of district master trainers.
The residential workshop is being attended by Block Level Master Trainers from key departments, including ICDS, Jal Shakti, Forest, RDD, Health and Education, as per the directions of the Tribal Affairs Department, J&K.
The DC emphasized that the initiative will play a pivotal role in the upliftment of 44 identified tribal villages in Reasi. She noted that while similar exercises were earlier conducted at the UT level, this training will now empower block-level trainers to further disseminate knowledge at the grassroots. Each block-level trainer will subsequently train 15 people in every tribal village to ensure wide outreach.
The DC emphasised that serving as a platform to align strategies and build the capacities of frontline staff, the three-day District Process Lab is expected to ensure last-mile delivery of services and promote inclusive growth in tribal areas.
She further stressed that the programme is being implemented in convergence with multiple departments to maximize its impact. The DC urged master trainers to work sincerely and involve NGOs, volunteers, colleges, and university students to prepare effective action plans for the tribal villages.
She underlined that ensuring every household benefits from government schemes will significantly improve governance outcomes and foster holistic tribal development.
District Prabhari Officer, Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Shiv, also addressed the participants, highlighting the importance of teamwork. He encouraged trainers to treat the Adi Karmayogi Abhiyan as a personal mission for the holistic development of tribal communities.
The event was attended by PO ICDS Sudarshan Kumar, CPO Narinder Kumar, ACD Vijay Kumar, CEO Deepak Gupta, DFO Sunil Manhas CMO and other senior officials.
