Dr Khajuria said this while interacting with the representatives of wool producers FPOs of Kashmir province in Kissan Ghar. 

Wool has clear cut superiority over synthetics, wool can absorb moisture vapour, which means less sweat on your body. This entails that it even absorb and locks away the odours from sweat, which are then released during washing. Stain-resistant — wool fibres have a natural protective outer layer that prevents stains from being absorbed.

Jammu and Kashmir has all in it to be quality producer of wool and if tapped in right direction wool industry can generate lot of employment in Jammu and Kashmir. 

The statistics and facts are quite bright in this regard.

J&K produces 7 million Kg of wool annually against the country’s production of 40 million Kg thereby accounting for 19% of the country’s production. 

It has been said that the considerable wool production amalgamated with the installation of processing units would result in bolstering the economy of UT.
