Respected Members,
Namaskar,
I, on behalf of my team Kashmiri Samiti Delhi/Koshur Samachar wish you a happy Navreh. I hope my community brothers, sisters shall celebrate the New Calendar of the year with pomp and show. Let us pray this year will bring us a lot of happiness, good health and prosperity.
In the month of March day-to-day activities remained normal while we are still facing the Covid 19 pandemic IInd Wave in India which is much more dangerous than the previous one as the death rates are increasing on the daily basis. I request our community members to be more mindful and vigilant and take precautions by maintaining social distancing, regular sanitization avoid social gatherings etc, wear face masks continuously and get the vaccination done at the earliest.
Admission in Kendriya Vidyalayas
The follow up by one of our dedicated and sincere activist, Shri T N Gurtoo, KSD Executive Member, who worked tirelessly during this pandemic period to get the order passed by the Kendriya Vidhyalaya Sangathan, well in advance, for admission of Kashmiri migrant wards in Kendriya Vidyalayas across India for the academic session 2021-2022. However, the concession order still continues from the HRD Ministry, Govt. of India, order, issued in 2015 for getting admissions in various higher technical and Academic Institutions in India. The text of the office copy will be on page No. 10 for for information of all baradari members.
Relief in Delhi
During the March month a KSD delegation, led by the President met the Divisional Commissioner/Principal Secretary Revenue, DC (HQ) and other district magistrates to discuss various issues, such as the annual submission of Affidavits and our long-pending demand of addition/bifurcation of the migrant cards in Delhi with monetary benefits. All the meetings remained very fruitful. Further to the meetings, the necessity correspondence with the Chief Secretary, Government of Delhi NCT and other relevant officers. We are hopeful the team of Kashmiri Samiti Delhi is doing a little bit in a positive direction to get the things resolved at the earliest. A KSD delegation also met the District Magistrate, Dr Anketa Chakarbarty, MB Road Saket and S. D. M. concerned to resolve the issue which was created unnecessarily by some of our community members. We are very thankful to the District Magistrate, MB Road, Saket for listening the delegation patiently and sort out the issue.
A KSD delegation, also, met the new District Magistrate (HQ) at her office chamber at 5 Sham Nath Marg. The meeting with her also remained fruitful from all ends.
Domicile Certificate, Aushman Bharat Scheme and other Central Govt Schemes in Delhi for Kashmiri migrants living out side J&K
Kashmiri Samiti Delhi was in touch with the Relief Department, Kashmir, Jammu, since the Central Govt. announced various schemes for the Kashmiri Pandit migrants living in the J&K UT. In this connection we made many representations from the last few months ,Ministry of Health, Govt. of India , MHA, and Lt Governor, J&K UT. The order was passed on 20th Feb 2021, for issuance of the Aushman Bharat card to the Kashmiri migrants who are living in Delhi and other parts of the country. We are glad to inform you that the scheme is to be implemented very soon in Delhi at Resident Commissioner’s Office J K UT, 5 Prathvi Raj Road, New Delhi. Those Kashmiri migrants, who have not applied for Domicile certificate, are requested to get the Domicile certificate on jkrelief on line portal. Those members, who are not registered with J&K UT are also requested to get their registration done and enrol themselves/families at the earliest on the same jkrelief portal. Then only they are entitled for the Domicile and Auishman Bharat scheme or any other scheme which is in force in Jammu & Kashmir U.T.
