Amid the problem of unemployment, one can easily earn his livelihood from farming like poultry farming, sheep farming, sericulture, fisheries and generate the employment opportunities not for only himself or herself but for others too.

In Kashmir, more than 50% of meat consumed is imported from the outside States and as per data available in 2018 the state of Jammu and Kashmir spent about rupees 2000 crore to import meat and poultry. Thus the large part of economy of Jammu and Kashmir is taken away by the other states in view of very high demand for animal products like eggs milk and meat in Kashmir.

Various state based and the central sponsored  schemes like Dairy Entrepreneurship Development Scheme (DEDS), Poultry Venture Capital Fund (PVCF) and Rural Backyard Development Scheme  (RBDS) for  BPL families  implemented through  NABARD with the objective to promote setting up of modern dairy farms for production of the animal products and generation of the self employment.

Kashmir valley being a high altitude area is very most favorable for livestock farming as there are huge areas of grasslands which can be utilized and used for rearing of sheep.

SRINAGAR, Mar 7: The Kashmir Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) on Thursday condemned the assault on two Kashmiri dry fruit vendors in Lucknow.

A spokesperson of the KCC&I said that more condemnable than the attack carried out against Kashmiri dry fruit sellers was the ‘State patronage extended to goons and hooligans in Uttar Pradesh and other States’.

“The registration  of the  case under weak and feeble provisions of  rioting  and breach  of peace, for which only one person has been booked, seems to have been intentionally done to facilitate the early release of the culprit. The videos of the incident clearly show it to be a case of attempt to murder and how the Uttar Pradesh police   interpreted it to be a case of one man riot is indicative of external influence,” the KCCI spokesman said.

He added: “The State of Uttar Pradesh has, by it’s brazen patronage, shown scant regard for the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India issued to, among others, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Secretary and Director General of Police, for taking prompt and necessary action to prevent incidents of threat and assault on Kashmiris.”

Meanwhile, Nasir Hamid Khan, Senior Vice President, KCC&I urged the Governor Satya Pal Malik to use his good offices for ensuring that cases are registered for attempt to murder and other stringent provisions of criminal law against the goons and the organizations they belong to. “There was enough evidence for invocation of these provisions and it would also act as a deterrent to others thinking of targeting innocent people in the future.”

He said that the KCC&I was hopeful that the Supreme Court would take note of the complicity of various State’s who were registering cases under weak provisions of law. “This conduct has resulted in goons and hooligans being embolden to post videos of their murderous assaults on social media.”

He observed: “In the interest of providing justice to the growing number of   victims of assault and intimidation, the KCC&I would also be consulting the J&K High Court Bar Association, Srinagar regarding demand for setting up of a Special Trial Court, registration of criminal proceedings in Srinagar or other legal remedies available as a free and fair trial outside Kashmir seemed impossible in the prevalent hostile condition.”
