This institution is an independent, privately-funded initiative, and values its independence and commitment to providing an impartial platform for reporting, discussing and critically analyzing key sustainable development issues of Jammu & Kashmir and beyond. Its State of the Economy and Zar Zameen live programs feature grassroots farmers from diverse locations, business leaders and some of the most influential public policy makers.
