Answers
Jammu and Kashmir has been separated into two Union territories— J&K and Ladakh. The undivided region’s per capita net state domestic product was at 75% of the country’s average. The UTs, thus, have a long way to go on several counts. Mint looks at their economic potential.
Jammu and Kashmir derives a large part of its revenue from tourism and trade of saffron, dry fruit, wool, apples and handicrafts. But the region also holds great potential for investment in air travel, railways, power and horticulture.
Can J&K reap demographic dividend?
According to Census 2011, the state of Jammu and Kashmir had 4.32 million workers. Just five of the 22 districts in the state were home to 1.9 million of the workers. In decreasing order, the districts are Jammu, Srinagar, Anantnag, Baramula and Rajouri. About 54% of the total workforce was involved in work not related to agriculture or running household enterprises. Further, only about 61% was engaged in full-time work. Like most other states in India, education and skills are a challenge in J&K as well. Of the state’s population of 12.5 million, 26% were in the age bracket of 20-34 years—wherein lie the seeds of demographic dividend. But only about 13% of these 3.17 million young men and women was either a graduate or held a diploma or certificate. Moreover, as much as 26% of the undivided state’s population in this age bracket was illiterate, while another 26% had studied only up to Class VIII.
