Pulwama district of Jammu and Kashmir is said to be the pencil district of the country as 70 percent of slates are produced from this district and sent to pencil manufacturing companies. Several units are working in the district to produce slate for making pencils. To make pencils in India, wood had to be brought from other countries like China, Germany, but now this requirement is fulfilled from Pulwama district.
Oukhoo village of Pulwama district, which was given the title of Pencil Village by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has many industrial centers where thousands of educated youth are earning employment. However, there is a need to further promote these industrial centers from which the unemployed youth of the valley will be able to earn their jobs, which is then used in many countries of the country and the world.
Local and non-local young women and men are becoming able to earn employment from such factories, which is a source of joy for the country and Jammu and Kashmir, especially Pulwama district.
The famous pencil village of Pulwama is a great step for making industries and factories more economically stable in Jammu and Kashmir, but to make this sector more active, the youth here needs to be provided with facilities and knowledge. Providing is the need of the hour.
Local people said that to control unemployment in Jammu and Kashmir, there is a great need to boost the industrial sector to strengthen the economy and provide employment opportunities to the youth.
With this, not only men but also women can excel in this field. The interest shown in these pencil manufacturing units is fuelling hopes for the growth of this industry in the entire district.’(Milap News Network)
