J&K: A DECADE OF TRANSFORMATION

IN THE GRAND NARRATIVE OF INDIA'S DEVELOPMENT, THE STORY OF JAMMU AND KASHMIR STANDS OUT AS A TESTAMENT TO WHAT IS POSSIBLE WHEN POLICY, PERSEVERANCE, AND PEOPLE COME TOGETHER. IT IS A STORY STILL UNFOLDING-ROOTED IN HISTORY, BUT FIRMLY FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE.

- ADV. TAHIR

Over the past decade, Jammu and Kashmir has witnessed a remarkable transformation—one that has reshaped its infrastructure, boosted its economy, strengthened grassroots democracy, and opened new avenues for its youth.

Guided by the vision of a stronger and more inclusive India, the government's sustained efforts have brought visible change to a region once defined largely by its challenges.Ten years ago, parts of Jammu and Kashmir struggled with limited connectivity, uneven development, and gaps in governance. Today, the landscape has shifted dramatically. Modern highways, tunnels piercing through the mountains, expanded rail networks, and better air connectivity have not only made travel easier but have also strengthened trade and tourism. The completion of the Banihal-Qazigund tunnel and progress on the ambitious Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla rail link stand as symbols of how determined infrastructure development can unite communities and fuel economic activity.
