| CM hears SKEWPY entrepreneurs, promises a lot | | Dejected youth see unemployment graph soaring | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Feb 19: Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah yesterday while expressing satisfaction over the popularity of SKEWPY among educated youth, underlined the need for bringing the clearance process for launch of economic units under Public Service Guarantee Act (PSGA) to make it time bound and hassle-free.
After patiently hearing the experience of entrepreneurs who have established or are in the process of setting up economic units under SKEWPY at marathon interaction session organized by Jammu and Kashmir Entrepreneurship Development Institute (JKEDI) here this afternoon, the Chief Minister said that success attained by the entrepreneurs taking advantage of SKEWPY would serve as an important motivating factor for others to follow the suit.
The SKEWPY, Chief Minister must know is a total failure. The number of unemployed youth has not decreased since it was announced on December 5, 2008. The graph is ever increasing. Of course thousands of persons join the list of unemployed every year. But notwithstanding this, the graph is ever increasing.
Under this SKEWPY scheme, Government announced overseas employment, which is yet to get started. Not a single employment had been provided under scheme despite the fact that huge money was spent by Government to send its Ministers abroad. On the name of searching employment overseas, Ministers only spent tax money and enjoyed the hospitality outside.
The Government also spent lakhs of rupees in organizing the employment fair in every nook and corner of the State but to no avail and these employment fairs have failed to generate employment. Still every month Government holds employment fair and Ministers attending these fairs have not helped the cause.
"Whenever I see an employment notice, I fill up the form and submit an amount required for the purpose. But having less percentage of marks despite being a post graduate, I remain at the back," said Ashiq Hussain, of Poonch, who was in Jammu to fill up another form.
On the other hand, Government has not been able to convince private players to invest in the State but by not addressing their concerns, not many private players have invested in the State. Even those who earlier invested and generate few hundred employments have started to pack their bags back.
One such example is of Tata teleservices private limited who have wound up from the State. The Government did no effort to help in the cause. Hundreds of employees working in Tata teleservices have become jobless and are wondering for new opportunities.
Similarly, the industries in the State are thinning but the Government hadn't yet come with such a proposal which could give industries a new life. |
