Srinagar: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday inaugurated initiatives worth nearly Rs 5,000 crore for boosting the agri-economy in Jammu and Kashmir during his maiden visit to the Valley since the abrogation of Article 370 by his government.
The Centre-led by Prime Minister Modi abrogated the provisions of Article 370 on August 5, 2019 and bifurcated the erstwhile state into the Union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
PM Modi attended the “Viksit Bharat Viksit Jammu Kashmir” programme at Srinagar’s Bakshi Stadium where he announced multiple projects related to agriculture and tourism. He dedicated to the nation the about Rs 5000 crore worth ‘Holistic Agriculture Development Programme’ (HADP)- for boosting agri-economy in Jammu and Kashmir.
HADP is an integrated program encompassing the full spectrum of activities in the three major domains of agri-economy viz Horticulture, Agriculture and Livestock husbandry in Jammu and Kashmir.
Advocating the abrogation of article 370, PM Modi said, “This freedom from restrictions has come after the removal of Article 370. For decades, for political gains, Congress and its allies misled the people of Jammu and Kashmir in the name of 370 and misled the country. Did J&K benefit from Article 370 or were only a few political families taking advantage of it? The people of J&K have come to know the truth that they were misled.”
PM further added that he has considered people of J&K as his family. He said that J&K’s people are in his heart and Main hoon Modi ka Pariwar’ is in the hearts of Kashmiris.
