The Union Home Minister said that the benefits of this did not reach Jammu and Kashmir, the youth here had to depend on government undertakings for employment. The biggest obstacle in this were Articles 370 and 35A, but after the abrogation of these Articles under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi on August 5, an open environment was created, and employment opportunities were created for Jammu and Kashmir. He said industrialists across the country also want the development of Jammu and Kashmir.He said industrialists from all over the country also want Jammu and Kashmir to be developed, by investing here, they would not only benefit themselves, but would also like to contribute to the development of Jammu and Kashmir. For this a policy was needed that would keep them in competition. He said that in GST, up to 300 percent refund has been given on plant and machinery and for a period of ten years. There is also a provision for interest subsidy and a revival package and the environment that will be created will bring many other ancillary industries to J&K.
