The second phase of the Back to Village (B2V) programme will be launched later this month in Jammu and Kashmir, and modalities for it are being worked out, an official spokesman has said.

Chief Secretary B V RSubrahmanyam on Friday reviewed the preparations made to launch the second phase of the programme, he said.

The modalities for it are being worked out by the planning development and monitoring department and the rural development and panchayati raj department, the spokesman said.

The first phase of B2V programme was launched in June.
