He said that developed land as per Industries & Commerce norms shall be allotted by J&K SIDCO/SICOP either in agro processing zones or any other industrial estate & provision of deemed land conversions is also available besides other benefits.
Principal Secretary emphasized that the guidelines of the policy have been framed with a view to curtail administrative and procedural delays & Joint Directors, Poultry Hariparbath/Jammu have been nominated as nodal officers at provincial level.
Eligible beneficiaries can apply in the office of Nodal Officer and the application after scrutiny shall be placed for approval before a provincial level “Project Approval Committee”.
