The industrial ecosystem of the nation must come forward in supporting the rapid industrialisation of Jammu and Kashmir, said the UT’s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha. The LG made the statement during his interaction with the industry leaders at the 4th CII Northern Regional Council Meeting here on Saturday.
"Big companies, corporate houses, and MSMEs of the country must take a pledge that the industrial development of Jammu and Kashmir will be their personal responsibility," he said.
Sinha said India’s top industrial houses should invest in J&K, keeping in mind that it is their collective responsibility to ensure the complete integration and inclusive development of the UT. He then emphasised why there is a need for a focused approach to enhance and boost the productivity and export of MSMEs and foster an innovation economy.
As per LG Sinha’s opinion, the next generation reforms will greatly benefit MSMEs and handicrafts units and will aid in building a self-reliant India. He then highlighted the need for private investment in research and development, with special focus on defence, space, agriculture, and manufacturing sectors.
