He said he will be discussing the issue with Governor, S P Malik, to request the big national players to come to Jammu for investment so that the more employment opportunities are available to the youth of the State.
Gupta also stressed upon the youth to come up with the business projects and avail the benefits of the Government schemes viz. JKREGP, PMEGP, Start Up, schemes of JKEDI and many more such schemes. He also emphasised on the role of youth in nation building by participating in such schemes.
