According to Dr. Jitendra Singh, the Lok Sabha representative for J&K's Udhampur Constituency, lithium discovery in the Reasi area might be "India's next big story," boosting the nation's economy significantly.

Dr Jitendra Singh stated that a growing amount of J&K things have been geotagged, adding that this will encourage sales of GI-tagged products from the UT to strengthen the local economy.
“Government under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi has made efforts to bring development in J&K. Various infrastructure projects will change the face of J&K, projects such as Ujh Multipurpose project, Shahpur Kandi dam project, construction of world’s highest railway bridge on Chenab river in Reasi, setting up of AIIMS and IIMs, etc. In Kathua district, the Engineering College has started functioning and the Medical College will also be opened soon. North India’s first Biotech park will be set up in Kathua in J&K,” he said, adding that a record number of tourists visited Jammu and Kashmir this year.
Dr Jitendra Singh appealed to the students to be catalysts of PM Modi's reforms and help their effective implementation in J&K.
The Union Territory of Jammu & Kashmir and the unexplored North-Eastern Region (NER) have huge natural resources that would drive India’s future growth story during the Amrit Kaal towards attaining a ViksitBharat @ 2047, he said.
During the interaction, the students brought out particular instances of lack of development in their regions in the state and how things are now beginning to change for the better. They thanked the Minister for Government's support to students from Jammu & Kashmir, due to which they have got the opportunity to study in premier universities and colleges under the PM Special Scholarship Scheme.
They cited development works being undertaken on ground level in the last few years like opening of new medical colleges, national highways, bank branches, schools etc. that were distant dreams earlier.
