Jammu is the gateway city into Kashmir and is the largest city in the Jammu Division. Jammu has a strong military presence because of its position as the entry point into Kashmir. It is an incredibly old city with wooden houses and buildings and historic palaces and temples that are centuries old. You will find the Ranbireshwar Temple, Peer Meetha, Rani Park, Mubarak Mandi and the old city all fascinating. Roads are incredibly narrow and dusty, there are many street sellers on the streets, you can buy anything from the markets including the most delicious food and fruits, carpets, electronic goods and kitchenware.

Tourism is the largest industry in Jammu. People head from Jammu into the Kashmir Valley and to the foothills of the Himalayas. The shimmering Lake Dal is nearby with hundreds of houseboats on the lake, very popular for summer holidays, honeymoons and hikers.

Jammu has many woodgrain mills including the most famous Basmati Rice and many different kinds of rice come from here. If you drive into the countryside you can see the rice paddies and the people working in the fields.

The area is old. Roads are still being constructed and improved on and although you are at the foothills of the Himalayas, pollution is bad. But – there is also a side of Jammu that is growing, connected to the military, to tourism and to industry as a whole. That is the IT industry. There are many software developers and companies in Jammu, some of which are Black Cap IT, Click Heights, Bahn Technologies, GGS Softtech, I Automate and many more. There are several start up software companies too.

There is always work in IT. If you have done Java Training in Jammu or Graphic Design Training in Jammu, as well as having general website development or design skills, you will find work. Almost everyone these days has an online presence and if you look for example at the many hotels in the Jammu area, or houseboats, they need to have an internet presence. If you have experience in the internet, with IT, you can be the one to help them improve their presence. There is also always work in developing Apps, or Ads, setting up Wordpress blogs, improving websites, doing the content, the graphics or the video, or the Social Media pages.

No matter where you are in India, there is work in IT. If you don’t have a certificate, get yourself one. Do an online IT course with AcePro Schools. They are very good, have the best and biggest range of IT courses that you can choose from, and you can study in your own time. The AcePro School is not expensive and if you cannot study in the day, you can study at night.

Jammu is an all year round destination. It gets freezing in winter but that is when people like to go and explore the snow and to ski in the mountains. The hospitality and service industry are strong and Jammu is one of the most interesting places to visit.
