Prepare a project on Handicraft of Kashmir and its contribution to the J&K's economy and employment generation.
Answers
Answer:
Kashmir popularly known as the paradise on earth has been very famous in handicrafts sector since ages. Central
Kashmir (Heart of Kashmir) including Srinagar, Gandebal and Budgam is the hub for this sector. But unfortunately
Jammu and Kashmir has not been able to attract investment from the private sector, and has remained an industrially
backward state due to its unique economic obstacles arising out of remoteness and poor connectivity, hilly and often
inhospitable terrain, poor infrastructure, sparse population density, shallow markets, and most importantly a law and
order situation threatened by militancy. Besides such obstacles Kashmir is very famous in handicrafts because of
its unique design, cost and quality of products. Handicrafts have remained a key economic activity in the state of
Kashmir valley. Kashmir has also a great contribution towards exports from the handicraft sector. It is mainly labour
intensive and hence causes no harm to economy. Besides, providing employment to literate as well as illiterate
persons in both rural and urban areas, it acts as a subsidiary source for the farmers who remain un-employed during
the off season. Government also plays a great role for the up liftment of this sector by providing various schemes.
