| 7 industrial estates, 2000 start-ups, 30000 jobs spark optimism: Raman Suri | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 23: Hailing the Administrative Council (AC) of Jammu and Kashmir Union Territory (UT), which under the chairmanship of Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha, accorded administrative approval for the development of seven new Industrial Estates and two thousand new start-ups, which are sure to generate about thirty-thousand jobs in the next few years, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) J&K Executive Member Raman Suri said that this massive investment and development is a testimony to J&K's economic renaissance, which has been unleashed by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi since past ten years.
Raman Suri said that all the previous governments in J&K including those of Congress, National Conference (NC) or People's Democratic Party (PDP) kept the youngsters away from such start-ups, which would have given wings to their talent and expertise in various fields. Leaders of these parties also ensured that the industrial sector in J&K remained on ventilator with no new investments coming from other states or countries. The abrogation of Article 370, coupled with infrastructural development and liberal funding, has strengthened the hopes and confidence of investors, which is why new industrial estates have started coming up here.
The BJP leader said, the new industrial estates spread over 5290 kanals of land and to be set up at a cost of Rs 304.51 crores besides the 2000 new Start-ups, for which a venture capital fund of Rs. 250 crores has been set aside, will reverse the brain-drain, and also encourage our youth to unleash their full potential in the UT itself. There still exist some leaders who are blind to this massive development and are continuing to exploit youngsters for their vested interests. They must look at the startups and economic growth, which our UT is witnessing since the abrogation of Article 370.
Raman Suri said that the adage "Rome was not built in a day" goes well with the removal of the controversial Article 370, adding that J&K needs more time to cleanse corruption and nepotism from the system that have marred the careers of many. On the other hand, massive development that is taking place in the shape of smart cities or development of new industrial policies are going to change the fate of Jammu and Kashmir. Tourism is already on the rise and the Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also ensured that the world witnesses how Kashmir will be developed in the coming years. |
