BENGALURU, Aug 1 : Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Saturday said no society had ever become prosperous solely through government employment or public expenditure, stressing that enterprise is what converts opportunity into prosperity.
Delivering the keynote address at the inaugural session of the IIM Bangalore Alumni Association here, Abdullah said Jammu and Kashmir’s experience showed that societies changed course when institutions altered the incentives that shaped ordinary people’s decisions over time.
He said Jammu and Kashmir was often discussed through the language of politics, security and geography, but those dimensions obscured another equally important story—one of human development and resilience despite structural constraints. ( PTI )
