SRINAGAR, SEPTEMBER 19: The State Administrative Council (SAC) which met under the chairmanship of Governor, Satya Pal Malik reviewed the preparedness for holding the J&K Investor Summit which was earlier scheduled from 12-14 October 2019.
SAC after taking note of the level of preparedness decided that the J&K Investor Summit be rescheduled to 2020 in consultation with the Union Government so as to give the Industries and Commerce Department reasonable time for making necessary preparations to secure robust participation of the investors in the summit.
SAC decided that the new dates for holding the Investor Summit will be finalized in consultation with the Government of India keeping in view the policy work completion, logistics including schedule of road shows, climatic conditions, the schedule of Parliament for both Winter Session and the Budget Session, major National & International events and major festivals etc.
The decision has also been taken to allow completion of all policy revisions by the State and the Central Government, further deliberations with prospective investors and other logistics related to the event.
