JAMMU, Jan 20: Deputy Chief Minister, Surinder Kumar Choudhary, today underscored the need to promote the indigenous handicrafts of Jammu and Kashmir at national as well as international level.
"Nature has bestowed Jammu and Kashmir with variety of indigenous handicrafts, which have created a niche in national and international markets and the need is to promote these by way of sustained marketing as well as promotion.

While appreciating the efforts of JKI in organizing the event, the Dy CM said that the government is committed to support the local industries and necessary mechanism is already in place to catalyse the industrial growth.

The government remains dedicated towards promoting local crafts, ensuring sustainable livelihoods for our Sheep wool rearers, Sericulturists, Artisans and expanding their market reach," he said.
