KULGAM: The District Treasury Office Kulgam under the directions of the Finance Department conducted an orientation programme on the Single Nodal Account Samyochit Pronali Aakakrit Shigr Hastantaran (SNA-SPARSH), model for efficient management of funds under Centrally Sponsored Schemes (CSS).

The programme was attended by Drawing and Disbursing Officers (DDOs) associated with the District Treasury Kulgam and its subordinate Treasuries, aimed at familiarizing them with the SNA-SPARSH system for seamless financial operations.
