J&K in India Economy 2018 Government of Jammu & Kashmir J&K In India Economy 2018 DIRECTORATE OF ECONOMICS & STATISTICS, J&K Preface The Directorate of Economics and Statistics, J&K is the designated nodal agency for coordination of all Statistical activities in the State. Apart from its other activities, the Directorate is responsible for collection, compilation and dissemination of information regarding development taking place in the State for decision making and framing development strategies. With this objective in view the Directorate since its existence has been bringing out various publications with regular intervals for the users. Economic Planning is a continuous process and access to efficient and reliable data holds the key for effective planning in any development field. “J&K in Indian Economy” is one of the premier publications of this Directorate. The publication seeks to portray the development of the state economy in a concise form. It is possibly the most widely used data source in the State, both in the public and private domains. The current issue of this Annual publication pertains to the year 2017 and provides up to date data on diverse dimensions of the Economy. The noteworthy feature of this publication is that it provides socio-economic scenario of the state in close contrast with national economy .To make it user friendly key monitorable Socio- Economic indicators have been summarized/abstracted at one place providing information for a couple of years. The publication will help the readers to study the existing status with respect to strengths and weakness and identifying key areas requiring corrective attention. I hope the publication will serve the varied objectivities of Planners, Aced- emissions Administrators and the general users. Although it is the endeavour of this Directorate to improve the quality content and coverage of the publication. Suggestions for its further improvement are most welcome.

Conclusions are drawn and remedies provided on the basis of concerned issues. Practices, models and strategies adopted by Himalayan and Non- Himalayan states are presented and explained their relevance for the rectification and endorsement of sustainable tourism at destinations. In Kashmir Valley most of the products are gifted by nature and demands vital care and supervision. Due to poor management, deficient facilities and services problems like contamination (water and air), solid waste, open dumping of garbage, emissions, chlorofluorocarbons and green house gases, illegal constructions and degradation of forests highly noticeable at renowned places like Srinagar, Pahalgam and Gulmarg. In this context, strong policies, strategic framework, sustainable tourism practices and adequate facilities and services are treated as imperative. 1. Introduction Over the period, progress of tourism industry offered numerous benefits to people living at tourism potential destinations. High tourist influx brought dollars to their accounts and boosted their economies. Nevertheless, lack of consideration and overcrowding negatively exaggerated the tourism resources like water bodies, aquatic resources and critical environment (Neto, 2003). Longstanding existence of destinations need proper supervision and at the same time control of emissions, disposal of wastes, and maintenance of hygiene treated as vital.

Pilgrimage is an old practice of travelling to the sacred places such as temples, mosques, churches and shrines etc. Religious tourism mixes pilgrimage and features of tourism and is considered a tool for sustainability, change and peace building among communities. It is particularly important for India being the fastest growing segment of tourism and given the fact that the whole country is dotted with important religious sites and is known for largest congregation in the world as in the case of Mahakumbh. While each state of country has a unique mix of religious tourism but the state of Jammu and Kashmir have a wonderful mix of Hindu, Muslim and Sikh religions sites though it is known more for Vaishno Devi shrine and Amarnath yatra. Kashmir Valley in this state is popularly known for its natural beauty and leisure tourism than religious tourism despite the high resources for religious tourism. This study is an attempt to identify and map the religious tourist resources in Kashmir valley. The nature of the study is exploratory and to find answers to queries raised through objectives both primary and secondary data has been used. The mapping of the sites highlighted that Kashmir has a mixture of different religious attractions and some of these attractions are located in close vicinity to one another.

Bhat Almost every part of India is known for many a sacred shrine, but the Amarnath Cave embossed in the snowy valley of Kashmir reveals the unique sight of natural Ice Linga of Lord Shiva perched on a glacial gorge which waxes and wanes with the movements of the moon. According to a common belief, it reaches the maximum height on Purnima in the month of Shravan (July-August), when Shiva is supposed to have divulged to Parvati the secret of salvation. On this day thousands of pilgrims negotiating the most difficult ridges arrive at the holy cave for Dharshan of the Lord. The pilgrimage of thousands of devotees to the far way cave of Amarnath, nestled in a glacial gorge of the western Himalayas, through some of the most charming scenery in the world, is fascinating in the extreme. One is stuck with wonder at the quiet and ordinary way in which a canvas town springs up with incredible rapidity of colours and of all shapes and sixes and broad streets running through the middle, and all vanishing as quickly at the break of dawn when the whole army of pilgrimages set out on the march again.
