Sir,
Jammu’s economic potential remains largely untapped despite its rich cultural heritage, strategic location, and abundant natural resources. There is need for economic diversification beyond agriculture and traditional tourism. Encouraging local industries like handicrafts, textiles, food processing, and IT can create sustainable job opportunities and curb migration.
Infrastructure development, including improved transport and connectivity, is crucial for attracting investment. Special Economic Zones (SEZs) and incentives for startups can foster entrepreneurship, while promoting eco-tourism and renewable energy will ensure long-term sustainability.
Jammu’s growth requires a collaborative approach involving the government, private sector, and local communities. With the right policies and investments, Jammu can transform into an economic hub, providing prosperity for its residents while preserving its cultural and environmental integrity.
