Gund:- Members of the Self-Help Groups (SHGs) under the National Rural Livelihoods Mission (NRLM) Umeed program have demanded the establishment of a block office at Gund in Center Kashmir’s Ganderbal District citing the inconvenience of existing blocks located far from their area.
The SHG members, primarily women, highlighted the difficulties they face in accessing resources and support due to the distant location of existing blocks. They emphasized that a local block office would significantly enhance their productivity, facilitate easier access to resources, and foster community development.
A delegations of SHG members from revenue Block Gund Told Kashmir Reader and expressed their concerns and challenges in traveling long distances to reach existing blocks. They urged authorities to consider their request and take necessary actions to establish a block office at Gund, which is already recognized on the NRLM website and in official papers.
