To push this sector to newer heights and plug all loopholes to make this sector more vibrant, profitable, market driven, employable and sustainable, the Government is working on viable solutions which shall be brought into the public domain very soon besides Common Facilitation Centre – one each in Kashmir and Jammu Division will be established for the collection, grading, sorting and packaging of wool.
