Don’t push J&K youth to hopelessness: Rana

EARLY TIMES REPORT

JAMMU, Aug 13: Expressing surprise over the move to disengage Self-Help Group (SHG) engineers from the government contracts, National Conference Provincial President Devender Singh Rana today cautioned the administration to desist from pushing the Jammu and Kashmir youth towards a situation of despair and hopelessness.
“In an era of the so-called start-up boom across the country, it is like sprinkling salt on the wounds of those struggling to stand-up on their own as entrepreneurs for self-sustenance and generating jobs for others”, Rana said after listening to the issues raised by a delegation of the SHG engineers and a deputation of J&K Unemployed Trained Physical Education Teachers (PETs) Forum, which called on him here this morning.
“It is quite intriguing that instead of generating employment to tackle the burgeoning problem, the administration is promoting and incentivizing unemployment”, he said while questioning the rationale behind the decision, especially in the backdrop of these self-help groups doing well in their respective pursuits, not only in terms of ensuring quality work at the strength of their expertise but also providing jobs to skilled and unskilled workforce in a big way. Disengaging these engineers amounts to disempowering a lot of people by breaking the chain of entrepreneurship.
Rana recalled the motivation behind these self-help groups, saying that this was aimed at engaging qualified engineers in gainful employment in view of scarce availability of jobs and lack of corporate and industrial sectors in Jammu and Kashmir. The experiment had worked well, as these groups significantly succeeded in generating employment and establishing entrepreneurship in a place where white collar jobs alone have been a culture.
Rana sought a review in the decision, saying this is not the only area that has become the target of the administration but other areas also speak of administrative apathy.
Lamenting over the anti-youth policies of the administration, Rana expressed solidarity with the suffering self-help groups, saying their legitimate issues will be raised at every forum.
