The Lt Governor assured that continuous efforts are being made across different sectors to creating a host of opportunities in the field of education, employment, healthcare, and security. “Jammu and Kashmir have a total 1.25 crore population, if you see the data about government jobs, more than 4 lakh people are in government service here and approximately 1 lakh people are daily wagers,” he highlighted.
“If we compare this with other states of the country which has more population than us even they don’t have this much employment,” he noted.
