Jammu and Kashmir Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha said on Friday that industrial investment of Rs 25,000 crore is proposed in the Union Territory and will soon get a major share after announcing the historic industrial policy.
Sinha admitted that due to lack of governance and lack of an adequate number of officers, the villages have not been given adequate attention and now special efforts are being made to bridge this gap.
He was on a visit to the panchayat of Pallanwala, a border village in Jammu district. He said that industrial investment of Rs 25,000 crore is proposed in the Union Territory and Jammu and Kashmir is going to get a major share of this investment soon after the announcement of the historic industrial policy.
He said that his goal is maximum development of industry, manufacturing, service sector, village industry, handicrafts, tourism, and technology sector so that more people can get employment in rural areas.
