SRINAGAR, Jan 20, 2026 — Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today spearheaded a series of high-level pre-budget consultative meetings with various government departments to outline the financial roadmap for Jammu and Kashmir.
During the sessions, the Chief Minister meticulously reviewed departmental priorities and assessed the immediate needs of the public to ensure that upcoming budgetary proposals are strictly aligned with the Union Territory’s long-term development goals.
The focus remained on bridging the gap between administrative planning and grassroots requirements, with a clear mandate to foster a robust economic environment.
Throughout the deliberations, Chief Minister Abdullah placed a heavy emphasis on people-centric initiatives, urging department heads to prioritize projects that offer direct benefits to the common man.
Key discussions centered on enhancing efficient service delivery, streamlining bureaucratic processes, and ensuring inclusive growth that reaches the most remote areas of both Jammu and Kashmir divisions.
By setting a strategic vision for the next fiscal year, the administration aims to create a budget that not only strengthens infrastructure but also empowers the youth and supports the marginalized sections of society.
