Prosperity of villages will have a bearing on the overall progress of the nation, he added. The Chief Minister urged the KVIB to bring under the coverage the unemployed rural youth especially women who could supplement their family income by setting up of rural-oriented industrial units. The State has no dearth of raw material and the schemes should be tailored as per the availability of the local raw material, he said. Dr Abdullah expressed happiness over the setting up of a packing material unit with local grass as its main raw material in Jammu suburb and said this could be used as an alternate to the polythene which is a health hazard and kills animal.

The Chief Minister hoped that the entrepreneurs would utilize the subsidy and the loans provided for setting up of industrial units judiciously and work for increasing the productivity.
