As a small business owner in Srinagar, I appreciate the minister's visit. But we need more than meetings - concrete policies to help Kashmir's MSMEs get easier loans and better market access. The potential is huge if red tape is reduced!

The aerospace sector developments are exciting! With companies like Safran investing, India can become an aviation manufacturing powerhouse. But we must ensure technology transfer happens and local engineers get proper training.

While these initiatives look good on surface, I'm concerned about environmental impact of rapid industrialization. The cold chain projects in J&K must balance economic growth with preserving Kashmir's fragile ecosystem. Sustainable development is crucial.

Project Monitoring Group for Gujarat/Rajasthan is much needed! Infrastructure delays cost our economy billions. Hope they focus on last-mile connectivity projects too - our industrial corridors mean nothing if goods can't reach ports efficiently.

As an export business owner, easier credit facilities would be game-changing! But banks still treat small exporters poorly compared to large corporates. Hope this meeting leads to actual policy changes, not just announcements 🙏
