Jammu and Kashmir in India: The Saga of Development chronicles transformative initiatives in Jammu and Kashmir, spearheaded by the Central Government over the past seven decades, particularly in the aftermath of the historic abrogation of Article 370. With meticulous data and insightful analysis, this seminal work underscores the pivotal role of recent administrative reforms in catalysing progress that has heralded a new dawn of opportunity in Jammu and Kashmir. The transformative impact of the democratic and developmental administration in Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) since it became a part of the Indian Union in 1947 has seldom been documented and discussed. This volume traces the evolution of fiscal allocations and the unwavering commitment of the Indian State towards fostering prosperity amidst the persistent violence orchestrated by Pakistan in the region.
