He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India is witnessing unprecedented progress across multiple sectors and that Jammu & Kashmir is emerging as an active participant in the country’s development story. The exhibition, he added, aims to connect citizens—particularly youth, students, entrepreneurs, researchers, and aspiring professionals—with institutions that are driving national growth and innovation.
Khatana stated that “Rise in Jammu & Kashmir 2026” will serve as a platform for creating awareness about flagship national programmes, technological advancements, scientific achievements, and development initiatives that are contributing to the vision of a developed India by 2047. He said the event reflects the spirit of inclusive development and public participation while encouraging greater engagement between citizens and nation-building institutions.
The exhibition is expected to witness participation from several prominent organizations, including NHPC, BIS, ICMR, ISRO, CSIR, ICAR, APEDA, Northern Railway, IRCTC, CPCB, Survey of India, POWERGRID, HURL, NFL, NBCC, REC, NTPC, TRIFED, National Jute Board, NAFED, the Department of Atomic Energy, and various other public sector undertakings, research institutions and government bodies.
According to the organizers, the event will feature thematic exhibition pavilions, technology demonstrations, citizen awareness campaigns, interactive displays, innovation showcases, and opportunities for direct engagement between institutions and the public.
The organizers said the exhibition is envisioned as a landmark initiative aimed at highlighting India’s achievements, fostering collaboration, promoting innovation, and inspiring the youth of Jammu & Kashmir to contribute to the realization of the Viksit Bharat @ 2047 vision. The event is expected to attract students, professionals, entrepreneurs, researchers, policymakers and members of the general public from across the region.This version reads more like a mainstream newspaper/government-event press release and places the spotlight on Viksit Bharat and the exhibition, rather than on the press conference itself.
