Cabinet Minister Javid Ahmad Dar on Saturday said that the Omar Abdullah-led government is working to fully restore the traditional Darbar Move practice in Jammu and Kashmir from this winter season.
Speaking to reporters during the launch of two centrally sponsored schemes in Baramulla, Dar said, “The government is trying to ensure the complete restoration of the Darbar Move system, which has been an integral part of Jammu and Kashmir’s administrative setup for decades.”
He further said that directions have been issued to the District Development Commissioner (DDC) to monitor any illegal conversion of agricultural land for commercial use. “DC Sahab is doing good work here. Strict action will be taken against those violating land use laws,” Dar said, as per news agency Kashmir Indepth News Service (KINS).

The minister launched two major centrally sponsored schemes, including the Prime Minister Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana (PMDDKY), aimed at improving agricultural productivity in 100 underperforming districts across the country. The scheme focuses on addressing challenges such as low crop yields, limited cropping intensity, and inadequate access to agricultural credit.
From Jammu and Kashmir, Kishtwar and Baramulla districts have been included under the PMDDKY scheme. Announced in the Union Budget 2025–26, the initiative seeks to merge 36 existing central government schemes from 11 ministries into a single agricultural support framework, promoting better coordination and strengthening the rural economy.
Dar said the initiative will give a major boost to the farming sector by integrating resources and ensuring efficient departmental coordination for the benefit of farmers. —(KINS)
