Removal of Article 370 will bring stability, market access, predictable laws to Kashmir: PM Modi

-

He added the government's decision to Revoke Article 370 would ensure stability, market access, and predictable laws in the state, which could help it gain investment, especially in key sectors like tourism, agriculture, IT, healthcare among others.


Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said the decision to bifurcate J&K was taken after a "great deal of thought" and that it would certainly benefit the people of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh. He said he was confident that after the abrogation of Article 370, the investment would start coming in. He said that leading businesses had already shown interest in investing in J&K.
In an interview to The Economic Times, PM Modi said that the government's decision to Revoke Article 370 would ensure "stability, market access, and predictable laws" in the state, which could help it gain investment, especially in key sectors like tourism, agriculture, IT, healthcare among others. "This will help develop an ecosystem which will give better rewards to the skills, hard work and products of the people in the region," said the PM.
"In today's world, economic growth cannot happen in a closed environment. Open minds and open markets will ensure that the youth of the region will put it on the path of greater progress. The integration gives a boost to investment, innovation and incomes," Modi said during the interview.
He said that with the opening of top educational institutes like IIT, IIM, AIIMs, people of the state would not only get better educational opportunities, they would also get a better workforce environment.
Modi said the BJP-led government at the Centre had accelerated several road, airport and rail line projects in the state, which would ultimately help in ease of doing business in the state. "Better connectivity, better linkages and better investment will help products of the region reach across the country and the world, leading to a virtuous cycle of growth and prosperity to the common man," PM Modi told the daily.
The Modi government recently revoked the contentious Article 370, which provided a special status to J&K and divided the state into two UTs -- J&K and Ladakh. Meanwhile, after eight days of curfew in the state, the Army has said the peace was prevalent in the Kashmir valley.

The Vanjari caste

The Vanjari caste Nowadays, it has become fashion to tomtom your backwardness if you are in politics, govt sector or education. For obvious reasons. We find many political leaders proclaiming that they are backward - because that is what sells now. Hence, I decided to study the origins of various castes to find out who is more backward and how. Today, I give information about the Vanjari caste. The Vanjari is a community in India; they live spread throughout the country but have a sizeable population in the state of Maharashtra. They are also present in parts of Andhra Pradesh particularly in the districts of Telangana region. A Vanjari or a trader seems to be an occupational description, as it is etymologically identical with Vanijya which means trade or commerce. These tribes were in the past engaged in carrying grain and supplies for armies, before the time of cart-roads and railways. Thane Vanjaries are settled in 24 Villages in Thane District Viz. Bandhan, Boi...
