A roadmap to boost growth, investments in J&K, Ladakh

Deccan Chronicle  

The Jammu and Kashmir region has immense potential for development and is one of the most attractive tourist destinations in India and across the world. Development of minor irrigation projects, physical infrastructure and forest resources, and the modernisation of fruit production by adopting latest technology and innovation can unlock the region's agriculture and agri-business potential. Third, for improving ease of doing business in the region, creation of new industrial areas and upgrading infrastructure in existing areas such as Jammu and Srinagar must be prioritised. Developing interstate and intrastate road connectivity with a specific focus on connecting rural areas and fast tracking of major infrastructure development projects must be promoted. The focus must be on a master plan for all-round growth of the region that focuses on boosting tourism growth, harnessing solar power and improving agriculture and livestock opportunities in the region.
