| EDI organises awareness-cum-loan mela camp | | | Early Times Report
Kishtwar, Sept 28: To create awareness among the educated unemployed youth of District Kishtwar regarding the new initiatives of National Minorities Development and Finance Corporation (NMDFC), an awareness-camp-cum-loan-mela was organised by J&K Entrepreneurship Development Institute here on Saturday.
Additional DDC Kishtwar A S Chib was the chief guest on the occasion in which more than 300 participants including students of ITI, Government Degree College and a large number of unemployed youth took part.
The main focus of the camp was to familiarise the youth about the NMDFC schemes through which the backward and poor sections among the minorities can avail a soft loan up to Rs ten lakh at simple interest rate of mere six percent per annum.
Speaking about the scheme, regional coordinator JKEDI Jammu, Dr Majid Manzoor Khan impressed upon the participants to accept the new challenges of rapidly growing unemployment and use these schemes to not only gain self employment but also generate new employment opportunities for others.
Khan said that in wake of growing population and reducing scope in government sector, the role of entrepreneurship becomes more vital.
Addressing the participants, A S Chib said that the youth should strive to emerge as job giver instead of job seeker. He called upon the audience to identify the potential sectors of entrepreneurship in Kishtwar including tourism, manufacturing, horticulture, poultry and food processing and take the benefit of SKEWPY and NMDFC schemes.
Others who spoke on the occasion included Vishavjeet Singh, AD Handicrafts, Vinay Kumar DIO Kishtwar and Ashok Sen Sr. Executive Manager JK Bank. |
