Advisor Sharma seeks special dispensation for JK at Himalayan conclave | | | Agencies
MUSSOORIE (UTTARAKHAND), July 28: Advisor to Governor, K.K Sharma, on Sunday urged Government of India to provide special dispensation to the Himalayan state of Jammu and Kashmir in 15th Finance Commission (FC) award. Speaking at Conclave of Himalayan States in Mussoorie, Uttarakhand, the Advisor said that Indian Himalayan Region States have some common issues to be addressed in the15th Finance Commission. "It's an appropriate platform where we may adopt an integrated stand before 15th FC in respect of demands of our respective regions," he said. "15th FC is unique in itself as it comes in the context of few historical, fiscal and economic developments in the country as well as in the State. This is the first FC after the abolition of the Planning Commission and after the introduction of the GST." The 15th FC projections and proposal are submitted under the backdrop of the above reforms. In 'Memorandum presented to the15th FC'-where we have presented a comprehensive picture of the various problems faced by our State which we would like the Commission to address in a sympathetic manner. The Advisor was representing the Jammu and Kashmir at the Conclave. Divulging details about Tourism sector, the Advisor said that Tourism is another area which is a gift of nature to the State. But unless we are able to create the requisite infrastructure and facilities for the tourists, the real benefits will not flow to our people. "As is well known, the downstream multiplier effect of tourism is perhaps the most wide spectrum and equitable. "We tried our best to comply with the guidelines of GoI and recommendations of the various Finance Commissions. Therefore, it necessarily requires special attention of the Finance Commission while deciding its Award for the State," he said, adding "Our request to the Commission would be to be generous in supporting us." The Advisor invited the Finance Commission to visit the Jammu and Kashmir for profiling its developmental and financial scenario. Union Finance Minister, Nirmala Sitaraman, Chairman, Finance Commission, VC, Niti Ayog among other dignitaries were present during the Conclave. |
