Sir,
This has reference to the news item “Government keen on revival of sick units’ DE July 5.
Due to geographical and topographical features Jammu and Kashmir has not evolved as an industrial hub so far. No big manufacturing unit has come up in any region of the State. Besides, militancy during last 25 years gave a big blow to what already existed. No businessman from outside the State is ready to set up any unit here due to Article 370.
Though the State landscape is dotted with small business enterprises only, these units too have not flourished. Some of them are running in losses, and some have turned sick. With the result many people have lost their livelihood.
It will be a good step in case Government revives the sick units by extending them all possible help. Mere providing financial help won’t work. There should be 24 x7 electricity supply. There is need to provide them technical and technological guidance. Markets should be explored for the goods produced in these units. Once these measures are put in place, perhaps there are chances that these units may start functioning once again.
Yours etc…
Goverdhan Sharma
