Jammu and Kashmir agriculture, solar and rural development

Entities: Jammu and Kashmir · Amit Shah · PM Surya Ghar – Muft Bijli Yojana · NABARD · Anupriya Patel

Overview

Since late July 2026 Jammu and Kashmir has been advancing a coordinated push across agriculture, renewable energy and rural infrastructure. The state first reported the expansion of high‑density apple and walnut orchards on 909 ha and the approval of 41 food‑processing projects under the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Sampada Yojana, aimed at adding about 200 000 tonnes of capacity for over 53 000 farmers. A surplus of key fertiliser stocks for the Kharif 2026 season was also highlighted, alongside the rollout of 38 665 rooftop solar installations serving 38 818 households under the PM Surya Ghar scheme with central funding of roughly ₹299 crore.

A subsequent review on 28 July detailed progress on 908 Rural Infrastructure Development Fund projects worth ₹4 303 crore, of which 157 are completed and 751 are under execution, and called for faster district‑level approvals. The Union Territory now hosts 1 544 single‑teacher schools with 91 569 teachers, and 1 611 new cooperative societies—including 232 primary agricultural credit societies, 1 339 dairy cooperatives and 40 fisheries cooperatives—underscoring a broader effort to strengthen rural livelihoods while maintaining the agricultural‑solar agenda.
