Despite Pandemic, J&K Attracts Four Proposals To Invest Rs 3,325 Crore In UT's Healthcare And Medical Education Sectors
Lieutenant Governor of Jammu and Kashmir Manoj Sinha.
In a positive development, the Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) has received investment proposals of Rs 3,325 crore in healthcare and medical education sectors despite the challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic, reports Economic Times.
Of the proposals, the largest one has been put forward by HP Kapital Limited which has proposed a Rs 2,200 crore hi-tech medical university with a 300 bedded hospital and a 700-bedded student accommodation in Kashmir and Jammu regions. The proposal could generate 6,000 employment opportunities.
Areesha's Royal Hospital Private Limited has submitted a Rs 425-crore proposal for setting up of a multi-specialized 500-bedded teaching and referral hospital with a medical, nursing and paramedical college with employment opportunities to more than 1,000 youth.
This comes even as the UT administration could not hold its much-talked-about global investment summit as the pandemic played a spoilsport. The Government is now actively evaluating the four proposals.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
