Jammu, March 15: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha expressed delight after meeting Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment, Ramdas Athawale, at Lok Bhavan in Jammu.
“Glad to have met Hon’ble Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment Shri Ramdas Athawale ji at Lok Bhavan, Jammu,” Sinha posted, highlighting the interaction as a positive step in centre-state coordination.
The meeting, amid ongoing focus on social welfare schemes and development in Jammu and Kashmir, underscores the Centre’s engagement with the Union Territory’s administration. Athawale, a prominent Dalit leader and BJP ally, oversees key portfolios including welfare for scheduled castes, tribes, and other vulnerable groups—areas critical to J&K’s post-reorganization priorities.
Sinha, who frequently emphasizes inclusive growth, shared the update on social media, signaling productive dialogue on empowerment initiatives. Details of the discussions remain under wraps, but they align with recent pushes for social justice reforms in the region
