Big Impact Awards : Entrepreneurship is turning crises into opportunities: LG

Says India stands as innovation superpower

Jammu, Mar 28: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Saturday called upon entrepreneurs and distinguished personalities from diverse fields to channel their resolve toward elevating various sectors in Jammu and Kashmir, rendering them more robust and humane.

Speaking at the ‘Big Impact Awards 2026’ for Jammu and Kashmir, organised by 92.7 Big FM, the Lieutenant Governor felicitated the awardees and urged them to lead with purpose as they contribute to forging a stronger, more prosperous India.

“In realising the Make in India vision, our entrepreneurs are carving distinct identities through originality. Despite raw material hurdles, they have expanded production capacities and diversified markets,” the LG said.

He said that through sweeping reforms, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has fostered an ecosystem where India evolves from consumer to creator. “India stands as an innovation superpower, ranking among the world's most dynamic forces in moulding tomorrow's global economy,” he added.

The Lieutenant Governor said the revolutionary change in the industrial and business ecosystem is not a coincidence but the tangible outcome of bold reforms and the relentless dedication of entrepreneurs. “True entrepreneurship lies in converting crises into opportunities, and I take pride in how Jammu and Kashmir's entrepreneurs and innovators have exemplified this in action. Innovation is not a fleeting event. Genuine innovation and success stem from persistent effort, a commitment to pressing forward through adversity,” he said.

Congratulating entrepreneurs who set a societal example by creating amid hardship, Sinha highlighted transformations in the education sector. “Post-National Education Policy and COVID-19, transformations mark a new revolution. COVID obliterated physical classes overnight, yet stakeholders united to build education platforms from scratch, train teachers, and extend virtual tools even to villages unfamiliar with them,” he said.

He noted that technology integration, NEP-driven innovation, and research focus have birthed a new order, aiming to position India as a knowledge economy. “We inhabit an era where change is a constant state. Technology, once a mere support system, now tests us fiercely. Amid this turbulence, we must contribute to nation-building with zeal and determination,” he added.

The Lieutenant Governor suggested the inclusion of the farming community in the next edition of the Big Impact Awards to honour their vital role in Jammu and Kashmir’s economy. He also called upon the radio network to spearhead awareness campaigns and activities aligned with the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan.

The award ceremony was attended by Vikrant Sharma, Cluster Head, 92.7 Big FM; Gaurav Mahajan, National Marketing Head, 92.7 Big FM; RJ Juhie; team members of 92.7 Big FM; senior officials; and prominent citizens from different walks of life.
