The way the economy is growing, there is more focus on developmental programs.
Recently LG Manoj Sinha said in a seminar that the Indian Diaspora is considered the largest and the most prosperous group in the world and people of Indian origin including J&K have become the significant driver of global growth.
Underscoring that mobility, access to growth, greater control is the key for socio-economic growth, he observed that a large population of J&K was deprived of it for a long time. The transformation post 2019 has empowered every section of society with access to all benefits provided by the constitution, he added.
J&K UT’s socio-economic & cultural sector is witnessing transformation. J&K government has aim for higher economic growth, fast infrastructure development while preserving & promoting our cultural ethos.
He observed that deliberate attempts were made to keep Jammu Kashmir, the land of spirituality and wisdom, away from progress & prosperity due to Article 370 and 35-A. The lack of access to benefits brought stagnation to growth.
Discrimination was a norm and social welfare was an exception. However, under the guidance of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, all the progressive laws were implemented and reforms were introduced to bring J&K at par with other developed states.
