The past over three years in Jammu and Kashmir have witnessed investors from outside Jammu and Kashmir, while as the government has claimed that J&K has attracted investment proposals worth Rs 90,000 crore in a very short span of time and it is determined to leverage the strength in different sectors and help the companies to invest and expand in the Union Territory. The youngsters in Jammu and Kashmir had limited opportunities to work and settle themselves for the bright future and earn the bread and butter for their respective families. However, the investments in Jammu and Kashmir have paved a way for more opportunities for the educated but unemployed youth, which would not only help them earn their livelihood but also help in boosting the tourism sector further, thus simultaneously helping the tourism players as well. Moreover, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah as well as the Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir in a summit have invited the top industrialists in Gujarat to invest in the Union Territory, saying that J&K has been made capable enough to actively participate in global investment events like Vibrant Gujarat Summit. Under the leadership of PM Modi, J&K has developed a strong investor-friendly environment, economic stability, highly skilled manpower and tremendous opportunities in tourism, hospitality, agriculture, horticulture, handicraft & handloom, IT & manufacturing. Therefore, these investments are welcomed and need to be appreciated so that the employment avenues can come up for the youngsters so that they will not be forced to move from pillar to post to get employment like the past.
