Joining Shah were Lt Governor Manoj Sinha, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, and top bureaucrats from the Centre and J&K administration. He reiterated the Modi administration’s dedication to a thriving Jammu and Kashmir, crediting sustained efforts for remarkable progress in ongoing projects.

Shah called for maximizing hydropower capacity and achieving complete coverage of public welfare programs. Ensuring last-mile delivery of development benefits remains a focal point.

To empower the youth, the government plans to enhance sports facilities and set up academies, targeting Rs 200 crore investment through partnerships with sports organizations. The dairy industry will receive a boost via the National Dairy Development Board.

Jammu and Kashmir’s inclusion in the 2025-26 Special Assistance scheme marks a historic step, offering long-term interest-free capital loans. Financial prudence, Shah noted, is key to managing the fiscal gap effectively.

India, under PM Modi’s guidance, is steadfastly marching towards ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. The Centre’s full backing for J&K underscores its commitment to holistic progress, stability, and safety in the region. This strategic review signals an era of accelerated transformation.
