Pashmina a cultural identity of J&K: LG Sinha
Srinagar, Oct 20 (PTI) Pashmina is not just a word, but the cultural identity of Jammu and Kashmir, and the union territory administration is duty-bound to revive the industry, Lieutenant Governor (LG) Manoj Sinha said here on Friday.
Sinha was addressing a function after presenting the annual artisan awards to Pashmina and Sozni weavers, organised by the Pashmina Exporter and Manufacturers Association (PEMA) here. “Not only for J-K, but for the whole world, Pashmina is not just a word, but our cultural identity which has been made immortal by the hard work of our brilliant artisans,” the LG said.
He said the extraordinary and priceless product has played a great role in helping the economy for centuries. It has also helped in nation-building. That is why Kashmir is known as the Pashmina capital of the world, he added.
