crore by engaging with various sports bodies,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nShah also said efforts should be made to promote the dairy sector in Jammu and Kashmir through the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).<br \/>\nMarking a significant step, Jammu and Kashmir has been brought under the ambit of the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) scheme for the first time in Financial
