In a bid to power up the economy of the newly established Union Territory (UT) of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K), the administration is coming up with J&K Information Technology (IT) Policy 2020 offering incentives to the IT companies to operate in the UT in three shifts and to facilitate the working women during the night time with transportation services and security, reports The Hindu.
The administration is banking on the good quality of air and low crime rate in the region to attract the investors. The IT Policy 2020's document highlights that J&K contributes only 0.1 per cent to the total cognisable crimes under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
The policy has also invited the private sector partners to become internet service providers and facilitate access to high speed internet connectivity for all the panchayats of the UT.
Apart from the IT policy, in an investor conference held in New Delhi recently, the administration of the UT of J&K had highlighted investment opportunities in 14 different sectors.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.

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.
