  • Better Economic Alternative for Rural Kashmir :By Mr. Riyaz Ahmed Wani
    Better economic alternative for rural Kashmir :by Mr. Riyaz Ahmed Wani GENESIS OF ECONOMIC CRISIS IN J&K Post 1947, Kashmir economy had a cataclysmic start. The state embarked upon its development process by the enactment of Big Landed Estates Act 1949-50, a radical land redistribution measure which abolished as many as nine thousand Jagirs and Muafis. The 4.5 lac acres of land so expropriated was redistributed to tenants and landless. Land ceiling was fixed at 22.75 acres. This was nothing short of a revolutionary departure from a repressive feudal past. And significantly enough, it was preceded or followed by little or negligible social disturbance. This despite the fact that no compensation was paid to landlords. More than anything else, it is this measure which set the stage for new J&K economy. In the given circumstances, the land reforms proved sufficient to turn around the economic condition of the countryside with the hitherto tenants in a position to own land and cultivate it for themselves. However, the reforms though unprecedented in their nature and scale were not only pursued for their own sake but were also underpinned by an ambitious economic vision. Naya Kashmir, a vision statement of Shiekh Muhammad Abdullah, laid down more or less a comprehensive plan for a wholesome economic development of the state. But the dismissal of Shiekh Abdullah’s legitimately elected government in 1953 by the centre changed all that. The consequent uncertainty which lingers even now created an adhocist political culture animated more by vested interest than a commitment to the development of the state.

    EUROPEAN ACADEMIC RESEARCH, VOL. I, ISSUE 4/ JULY 2013 ISSN 2286-4822, www.euacademic.org IMPACT FACTOR: 0.485 (GIF) An Evaluation of Handicraft Sector of J&K – A Case study of District Budgam EFFAT YASMIN F. A. BHAT Department of Economics Kashmir University Srinagar, India Abstract: The handicraft activities carried out in Kashmir Valley are famous throughout the world because of their quality, art and design. This sector has great potential to generate gainful employment within and outside the state. It is a labour intensive sector, needs less capital and is eco-friendly. Therefore, the social cost of handicrafts is less compared to other small and medium scale industries. Being a labour intensive sector, handicrafts can be established both in rural and urban areas and can be taken off as a subsidiary occupation in the valley. In this paper an attempt has been made to evaluate the growth, performance and problems faced by the handicraft industries since 1990’s in Kashmir valley in general and District Budgam in particular. Key words: Small Scale Industry, Handicrafts, Coefficient of correlation, Henry Garrett‟s Ranking Technique, Production, employment and exports Introduction The state of Jammu and Kashmir is famous throughout the world for its scenic beauty, bracing climate and craftsmanship skills.

ABSTRACT The present study entitled ‘Handicraft Industry in Jammu & Kashmir: Challenges and strategies’ deals with an analytical study of the problems of handicraft industry in Jammu and Kashmir state and the strategies that could be followed for the development of this industry. Since times immemorial, this industry has played a commendable role in the economic development of the state, as it affords great potential for exports and employment generation besides providing financial support to the economy of the Jammu and Kashmir state. The reason being that handicraft activities are best suited to the state as they are more labor intensive and less capital intensive as well as environment friendly. The main focus of the study is to assess the degree of problems and issues which exist in the handicraft industry and put forward some preliminary suggestions as to how they may be resolved to ensure that this sector lives up to expectations. The study demonstrated that handicraft sector faces dearth of capital besides raw-material, power supply, inaccessibility and shortage of labor etc. often laborers in this industry find themselves fighting against all odds at every stage of their business. This requires the government to provide subsidiaries for the growth of handicraft industry especially in the early stages.

Geographical Indication (G.I) is used worldwide as an instrument for marketing, branding and diversify- ing product portfolios. India is blessed to have states like Jammu & Kashmir – blessed with rich climate, soil and natural endowments.

The State has made little efforts to protect its ethnic and region specific products through Geographical Indication. The paper aims to illustrate the prevailing practices of Jammu and Kashmir with respect to geographical indication. The paper also sheds light on the potential of Geographical indications in Jammu & Kashmir, particularly in Kashmir region. Introduction portant instrument in intellectual property protection.

  • Carpet Handicraft Industry in Kashmir: an Overview
    © 2018 IJRAR December 2018, Volume 5, Issue 04 www.ijrar.org (E-ISSN 2348-1269, P- ISSN 2349-5138) Carpet Handicraft Industry in Kashmir: An Overview Ishfaq Majeed Ph.D Research Scholar, Department of Sociology, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh-202002, Utter Pradesh. Abstract Kashmir is famous throughout the world of his wonderful nature as well as outstanding for its handicraft sector. Carpet, Shawls, Paper machie, Wood carving, Namdha and so forth are the major crafts of the handicraft sector in the Kashmir valley. The Kashmiri Hand Knotted carpet has a very prominent place in handicrafts because of its unique design, quality and durability. The Carpet Industry has remained a key economic activity in the production and has a great contribution towards exports from the handicraft sector in Kashmir. Kashmir has remained an industrially backward state due to lack of investment from the private sector, remoteness and poor connectivity, shallow markets, poor infrastructure, and most importantly a law and order situation. Carpet industry suits in the Kashmir as it is more labor intensive and less capital intensive, consequently having scope for employment generation on a large scale. It is providing employment to both literate and illiterate people in rural, urban and tribal areas. The carpet industry acts as a secondary source of income for the farmers who remain unemployed during the winters. Both men and women are dependent on the carpet industry in Kashmir for their subsistence. The Government plays an important role to uplift the carpet industry by providing various schemes and programmes. The present study focuses on to analyze the production, export and growth rate of carpet handicraft in Kashmir, steps involved in the carpet manufacturing process, the challenges of the carpet industry in Kashmir and the role of the government in promoting the handicraft sector will also be discussed before concluding the paper.
