Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has significantly influenced the socio-economic and political fabric of Jammu and Kashmir, steering it toward a path of stability, development, and national integration. Under his leadership, various bold policy decisions, developmental initiatives, and peace-building efforts have reshaped the narrative around this sensitive and strategically important region. The government's vision, as evident through its actions, reflects a desire to turn Kashmir from a conflict-ridden territory into a thriving and integrated part of the Indian Union. This transformation is not only structural and infrastructural but also emotional and psychological, aiming to restore the faith of the people and revive the spirit of unity. One of the most visible and transformative impacts of the Modi government in Kashmir has been the large-scale investment in infrastructure.

Over the past decade, the region has witnessed an unprecedented focus on connectivity projects. The construction of all-weather roads, tunnels like the Zojila and Chenani-Nashri, and the extension of the railway network deep into the Valley are bridging the once-isolated region with the rest of India. These projects are not mere physical constructs; they symbolize the government's commitment of integrating Kashmir in both geography and spirit with the mainstream developmental agenda. Enhanced connectivity has eased travel, boosted trade, and opened up Kashmir’s markets and tourism sectors to new possibilities. Education and employment have become central pillars of the Modi government's Kashmir policy.
