SRINAGAR, Apr 19: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha today interacted with members of YPO-Global One, an international network of leaders and CEOs in business in Srinagar.
In his keynote address, the Lieutenant Governor highlighted the strategic, multi-faceted approach for holistic development of J&K over the last five years including economic growth, sustainability, and seamless implementation of social welfare schemes.

The Lieutenant Governor shared the insights into J&K’s evolving industrial landscape and the emerging opportunities in the sector.
“I want the industrial growth to benefit all the citizens of Jammu Kashmir. This is my resolve. My second resolve is to ensure that Industrial growth is environmentally sustainable.

For the industrial growth of Jammu Kashmir, we have focused on sectors which are the strength of the region. For example, the Tourism Sector has witnessed massive increase in tourist influx. There is immense potential in this sector for unexplored destinations, film tourism, entertainment sector, hotels and resorts and theme parks. Since we have given industry status to tourism, I am sure that the tourism potential of Jammu and Kashmir can be tapped,” the Lieutenant Governor said.
Sharing the progressive policies and initiatives of the government for promoting startup culture and women entrepreneurship in J&K, the Lieutenant Governor highlighted the positive outcomes of new Startup Policy which was launched in February 2024.
“So far more than 1030 startups have become operational in which 380 startups are led by the daughters of Jammu Kashmir. I consider this a great achievement in restoring the pride of Nari Shakti,” he further added.
