Policy Perspectives: Evaluating the Nexus between Government Measures and Sustainable Development in Cement Industry.

Abstract

Using descriptive statistics analysis with SPSS software, this study explores the awareness, accessibility, policy impact, and needs for governmental support regarding sustainability policies within the cement industry. The results show that although stakeholders are somewhat aware of economic sustainability, they notably lack knowledge of environmental and social sustainability policies. Full policy implementation is hampered by accessibility issues, particularly by high initial costs. However, the benefits of the policy include better air quality and increased efficiency. Nonetheless, the participants also mention adverse effects, highlighting the need for a well-rounded strategy to reduce expenses. The findings clearly show that stakeholders want government support to put sustainability policies into action. These results highlight how urgent it is to close knowledge gaps and remove financial obstacles, giving legislators a chance to work together to support sustainable practices in the cement sector in Kashmir..
