Scholar Dineshchandra Sircar has analysed the geography described in the Shakti‐sangama Tantra, where this is indeed the case.Scholar M. A. Stein believes that the concept of deity must have been translated into that of a Pir after the region was Islamised.
This region is endowed with abundant resources, including forests, herbal plants, minerals, and favorable agro-climatic conditions.
Tourism and agro-based industries play a pivotal role in the region's economic landscape, offering significant investment potential.
Additionally, the region is known for its skilled workforce in producing delicate handicraft items, including embroidery, wood carving, fur and leather products, woodwork, and various traditional crafts.
The government's strategic areas of focus encompass food processing, agro-based industries, auto-ancillaries, precision engineering, mineral exploration, and eco-tourism, making the Pir Panjal region an attractive destination for investment.
People allege negligence in terms of developmental issues by the government if the Pir Panjal remains linked to the Jammu division.
