Early Times Report
Jammu, June 2: National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana on Saturday sought 70 per cent jobs for educated unemployed youth besides hundred per cent recruitment of skilled and unskilled workers of Jammu and Kashmir in the central government establishments operating in the state besides IIMs, IITs, para military and armed forces. "J&K needs a special dispensation in view of job crunch", Rana said while addressing workers at several places across Nagrota Assembly Constituency.
He said the special dispensation was imperative, as the eligible youth are generally ignored in various central services. In this context, he cited the discrimination being meted out to the local youth in IIT, RRL, BSNL Army Ammunition Depots in Jib Udhampur and Jandrah, Nagrota besides similar other organizations, notwithstanding the fact that they were primary stake-holders. The Provincial President said the State has undergone a traumatic phase and limited opportunities available to educated unemployed youth, essentially due to absence of private sector and big Business Houses, have put a huge question mark on their careers. This deficiency can be overcome by evolving a mechanism to have special drives carried out, particularly for youth of the border areas in police, para-military forces and other central services. While a substantial reservation can be thought over for the eligible youth in the central government organizations, banks, railways, a fool-proof strategy can be devised to ensure absorption of skilled, unskilled and relatively lesser qualified youth in the organizations like IITs, IIMs, railways etc. He said opening of avenues will greatly help in securing the careers of youth who feel pushed to the wall due to unemployment. |
