Editorial | Mapping Change in Jammu Kashmir 

After the Abrogation of 370 in  Jammu and Kashmir, many feared that the situation there would spiral out of control. Many people said then, Pakistani influence will increase in Kashmir. The former Pakistani High Commissioner appointed in New Delhi had spoken about many fears, starting from genocide, rivers of blood, nuclear war in Kashmir. However,  these three  years proved to be wrong. Jammu and Kashmir is much more peaceful now than it was in the past few decades. The valley is floating in the stream of development. Like other parts of India, the people of Kashmir are enjoying civil rights.

In  the last three years, the people of Kashmir have got the security of their lives. The government has  taken several important initiatives for their economic development.
Naya Jammu Kashmir moved from being a laggard to a leader at the national level. Right from strengthening democracy at grass-root level to Making Jan bhagidari”  the lifeblood of governance in UT , the citizens are provided with  an opportunity to participate in decision making and policy framing process.
