I t may be recalled that the economy of the UT of Jammu and Kashmir being shy of diversifying the realms of raising revenue earnings , private investments are a must to be encouraged. Needless to add, much before the COVID-19 pandemic struck the world countries and as such our country too, a global investors summit was proposed to be held in the UT to attract huge investments in various sectors especially our healthcare sector and for which preparations for various presentations etc of an above the average standard, were stressed upon to be made. Since COVID-19 pandemic upset the entire applecart of high investments , still a matter of great satisfaction and relief is that investment proposals worth a whooping amount of Rs.3225 crore have been received by the UT Government in healthcare. Can we park this extra-ordinary development at the advantages of abrogation of Article 370 that has removed the fears and apprehensions from the prospective investors? There are all indications in affirmative in that context. We appreciate the efforts of the Health and Medical Education Department in arranging attracting of global investments of a good measure even during the current constraints of the pandemic. It is to be noted again with satisfaction that among the prospective investors in this vital sector are big names also with large exposures across the country . It is now the duty of the UT bureaucracy and other concerned officers to smoothen the process of investment and keep paperwork and other formalities to the barest minimum to have the entire process hassles free and fast so as to have our healthcare undergo a turnaround in its operations
