New Delhi, Oct 2 || Jammu and Kashmir is stepping into a new era of growth and development, leaving behind years of conflict and underdevelopment. Once known mainly for unrest, the Union Territory is now being seen as one of India’s fastest-growing regions, with its economy projected to touch Rs 2.65 lakh crore.
Since 2019, a series of structural reforms, policy changes, and massive infrastructure investments have reshaped the region’s future, according to Kuwait Times report.
Between 2021–22 and 2024–25, Jammu and Kashmir recorded steady annual growth of more than 7 percent, supported by rising investments, booming tourism, and social welfare programmes.
A stronger sense of peace and governance has helped fuel this growth. Welfare schemes like Ayushman Bharat, universal access to clean drinking water, and the construction of more than 1.7 lakh houses under PM Awas Yojana have improved people’s lives.
