KARACHI:
Azad Kashmir has immense potential for tourism because of its natural beauty and historical significance. Despite this potential, the tourism industry in the region has not developed. The government should invest in infrastructure, promote local culture and traditions, and improve services for tourists to attract tourism in Azad Kashmir. This can help create business and employment opportunities for the local population.
Women in Azad Kashmir have great potential for entrepreneurship and are skilled in traditional handicrafts. The government can support them by providing training, funding, and access to markets to allow them to develop businesses that can contribute to the local economy. Empowering women through the handicraft industry can be an effective strategy to enhance employment opportunities and reduce poverty in the region.
The government can promote sustainable economic development in Azad Kashmir by increasing tourism and empowering women through entrepreneurship. The government should work with locals to invest in these sectors to create a better future for the people of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
