In addition to his contributions to the economic advancement of Jammu & Kashmir, Mr. Imran has played an influential role in strengthening both the film and agricultural sectors of the region.

As a representative of Jammu & Kashmir, he played a pivotal role in the 15th International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards held in 2014 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida. Through strategic engagement and representation, he helped showcase the scenic beauty, cultural richness, and investment potential of J&K to an international audience. The global exposure generated significant tourism interest, leading to increased visitor inflow and renewed attention toward the region as a destination for both travel and film production. This initiative provided a meaningful boost to the state’s tourism industry and enhanced its international visibility.

Beyond the film industry, Mr. Imran has demonstrated strong commitment toward revitalizing the agricultural and horticultural sectors, recognizing them as vital pillars of the region’s economy. In 2015, he organized landmark initiatives such as the Grower Conclave and the Apple Mela, both of which received widespread appreciation across farming communities and industry stakeholders.

The Grower Conclave served as a collaborative platform bringing together farmers, horticulturists, agricultural experts, and policymakers to exchange knowledge, introduce modern techniques, and discuss sustainable development strategies. The Apple Mela focused on promoting the state’s premium apple produce, creating market visibility, and strengthening supply chain linkages.

These initiatives generated awareness about the untapped potential of agriculture and horticulture in Jammu & Kashmir and encouraged the adoption of modern technologies and improved farming practices. By supporting innovation and market connectivity within the sector, Mr. Imran contributed to enhancing productivity, farmer confidence, and economic resilience.

His sustained efforts in agriculture have not only supported sectoral revival but have also contributed to broader industrial development. By reinforcing traditional strengths while encouraging modernization, he has helped lay the groundwork for a more diversified, stable, and sustainable economic ecosystem in Jammu & Kashmir.
