NAVIGATING THE CHANGE : JAMMU & KASHMIR

“ A NEW FRONTIER OF GROWTH IN ECONOMY “

08 th - 09 th August, 2024

SKUAST, Srinagar, Kashmir
PARTNERING FOR GROWTH AND PROSPERITY

Jammu & Kashmir region of India is blessed with the bounty of nature, encompassing natural resources signifies the potential, absence of any significant business and industrial activities mark the situation of lack of jobs & business activities and characterize continuance of its economic backwardness.

While Government of India is committed to creating opportunities for youth and providing social and industrial infrastructure for its overall and rapid development, the growth so far has been less than desired, largely due to the low level of the business and industry engagement and poor focus on local competence building and partnerships among the development agencies, industry, institutions and the Governments. Since the Jammu & Kashmir region is largely rural and horticultural production dominates the Agri landscape, any development planning has to largely focus on the farm and rural sector. Therefore, there is need for partnerships for training and competence building, investments, marketing, processing, projects and infrastructure development to accelerate growth and economic activities, leading to more jobs, incomes and opportunities for the people of this region.

EMERGENT JAMMU & KASHMIR 2024, comprising of Agri and Rural Expo, Industrial Expo and Jammu & Kashmir Development Meet will provide an opportunity for the region to showcase its potential and opportunities for the rest of the country. This will offer what it has to, for partnering & engaging to explore the opportunities & participating in the growth & development of the region in general. The three-day Exhibition will bring a large number of national & international stakeholders from the Industry, Institutions, Government and the development sectors to showcase the programs & schemes, products, technologies & services; and deliberate upon the issues & opportunities for the way forward. ICFA envisions to provide exposure to farmers by sharing successful agribusiness models and sensitize them with policies, schemes, technologies & markets. Rewarding evolution will be evident when farmers themselves become role models for fellow farmers.

Objectives
  • Would serve as the partnership and networking platform for different stake- holders, who want to engage in Jammu & Kashmir region and explore opportunities.
  • Would create better awareness and offer networking platform to the industries and investors about the potential of the region, business opportunities available and the scope for investment and growth.
  • Would provide valuable inputs to the State Governments for formulating appropriate agro, industrial and development policies aimed at inviting investments and partnerships, enhancing competitiveness and accelerating growth.
  • Would provide the youth, women NGOs and development agencies, the interaction opportunities with the national level institutions, industries, experts and officials.
  • Would provide exposure to farmers about latest Agri-input products, technologies, farming practices, government schemes, Agri, Horti, animal husbandry and rural projects, marketing and post-harvest management.
