| State Govt needs to groom youth talent | | | Shakeel A Khan
SRINAGAR, Mar 29: At a time when the civil services have assumed centre stage with respect to career option for the youth across the state, the government has done nothing to groom the talent of the youth.
The government has failed to provide facilities to the youth to explore their talent. The other states of the country are much ahead of our state in this regard. When it comes to talent the youth of the state are at par with the youth of other states. The only difference is that they are taken care of while as here they are ignored.
As far as competing in the national level exams like those conducted by the UPSC are concerned, the youth of the state have proved their mettle. The results would have been even better had the facilities been provided by the government.
"It requires a strong financial support for the coaching purposes that two hundred kilometers away from the home since such facilities are not available here. Many competent youth drop this idea on account of this," said Syed Qaisar Ahmad, a civil services aspirant.
Like Qaisar majority of the youth opine that state government must come forward to address the problems of the youth. This group of youth said that highly qualified including PhD scholars are left with no choice but to join the services, even of the rank of a constable which otherwise suits an eighth pass. They said that many such qualified youth are seen either regulating the traffic or guarding the ATMs.
"I am working in the JK Bank drawing a handsome salary. At the same time I have been trying my luck in the UPSC exams. I manage my coaching besides supporting my family. But there are others who can only think about it though they are more genius than me. They can only dream about it because of severe financial constraints. It is a big hurdle in their path,'' said Touseef Ahmad Malik, who qualified UPSC's main examination this year.
The youth demand that government must come up with a package for the students who are brilliant but with a poor family background. They said that poverty is the biggest problem and it destroys wonderful talent.
"The government must give its due consideration for setting up of super specialty coaching centers both in Jammu and Kashmir divisions. Admission to these coaching centers should be made on basis of performance in the entrance. A separate competent authority should be made for this purpose,'' suggested Syed Shabir Ahmad, a civil servant. |
