Thus, The Article 370 & Article 35-A were abrogated and the union government managed to pass a law for the reorganisation of Jammu and Kashmir state. In this regard, All Provisions of the constitution of India to now apply on J&K; Bringing J&K at par with other state & UTs, Boost to the local economy and job creation by allowing private Investment, Batterment of socio-economic Infrastructure in the UTs, Laws pertaining to education, empowerment of SCs, STs, Minorities and other to be applicable to J&K and Provisions of 10% quota to economically weaker sections of society to apply in Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh in Jobs and educational Institutions.

Recently, Central Statistics Office (CSO) released India’s economic growth datas for the April-June quarter (‘Q’) of financial year 2020 on August 30. The economic growth of India slumped for the fifth straight ‘Q’ (April-June) to an over six-year low of 5% in the three months ended June as consumer demand and private investment were slowed amid deteriorating international environment. Examining this, It has been on account of both ‘exogenous’ and ‘endogenous’ factors. The union government is quite alive to the situation especially global headwinds arising out of deceleration in the developed economic and Sino-American trade conflict which has contributed to the slowdown. After agriculture, real estate-construction is the second-largest employer and also has a huge backward and forward linkages with other sectors. So reviving such sectors would be crucial both from the ‘investment’ as well as ‘consumption’ point of view. While the rating agency believed that there is no quick-fix solution to the downturn which has been in the making for the past few years.

Although, The Jan Connect contains a compendium of key decisions of the Modi administration in 100 days.
