The committee comprises Director Industries & Commerce Kashmir, Director Industries & Commerce Jammu and Director SIDCO/SICOP.

The committee has been constituted at a time when the Jammu & Kashmir government is pushing for massive industrial development to create employment avenues for the youth.

In the past few years, the J & K government received investment proposals worth Rs 90182 crore which have potential to generate employment for 4, 01,965 youth.

The Union Territory government has launched the Jammu and Kashmir Industrial Policy 2021-30 to attract new investment, create employment opportunities for youth, develop backward regions and expand existing industrial units.
