The Story in Brief
The Jammu and Kashmir government held a stakeholder consultation on Thursday to gather suggestions for improving its Ease of Doing Business framework and revising the Union Territory’s Industrial Policy. Additional Chief Secretary (Finance) Shailendra Kumar chaired the meeting, attended by officials, J&K Bank’s managing director and CEO Amitava Chatterjee, and industry and trade representatives.
The D2CIA Kashmir Chapter sought simpler regulations, fewer compliance requirements and better investment facilitation. Its vice-president, Haya Qazi, urged the government to extend business reforms to education, including a single-window clearance system for educational institutions. She also proposed incentives for women-led institutions, simpler No Objection Certificate procedures and longer registration and renewal periods.
The Indian Opinion
Claims that consultations alone will transform Jammu and Kashmir’s business climate would be premature. The D2CIA’s education proposals are practical, but a single-window system matters only if departments share clear deadlines and applicants can track approvals. Equally, incentives for women-led institutions should be judged by actual approvals and new facilities, not announcements. The revised policy should publish its timelines and report how many clearances are completed through the proposed system.
