Chief Minister Omar Abdullah has announced a shift in policy, urging businesses to focus on enterprise rather than relying on government subsidies.
In a recent statement, Jammu & Kashmir's Chief Minister Omar Abdullah emphasized the importance of fostering a culture of enterprise over dependence on state subsidies.
Abdullah highlighted that while subsidies have played a role in supporting local businesses, they can also create long-term dependency and stifle innovation.
The CM urged entrepreneurs to seek self-sustaining models, encouraging investment in technology, skill development, and market expansion.
He added that the government would continue to provide a conducive environment through regulatory reforms and infrastructure support, but the primary focus would shift toward empowering businesses to thrive independently.
