| Livelihood generation going to be herculean task for GOI | | JK has highest number of jobless youth in India | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 5: Contrary to the claims being made by the helmsmen in the past that providing job opportunities had always been there top most priority, figures seem to have been only bellying these ruthless assertions.
Early Times already reported in detail that there has been little effort made by the previous governments of Jammu and Kashmir to tackle the unprecedented surge in unemployment and and that the non- serious approach of the political leadership in addressing such crises has taken shape of an epidemic.
According to latest survey done by various government and non- government organisations, unemployment rate for Males in JK was 3.2 percent only while as the rate of females was whooping 20.2 percent. In neighboring states like Punjab it is 5.6% while as in Haryana it is 4.8%. In Delhi it is 4.3% and in Himachal Pradesh the rate is 2.2%.
The survey further adds that among educated unemployed youth in Jammu and Kashmir, 54.9 percent youth are from rural areas while the remaining are from urban areas.
The survey reveals further that the number of post graduates who are jobless in JK is more than sixteen hundred. These PGs have science streams including biotechnology, botany, physics etc. 3567 post graduates of are jobless. They have degrees in English, Urdu, Political Science etc.
The figures reveal that in valley there are more than 29034 graduates who are unemployed and in Jammu province the number of jobless graduates is 12426. The details inform that Kashmir division has 46703 people jobless who have passed 10+2 in various streams while as in Jammu the number is 27212.
The survey details inform further that more than four thousand five hundred registered degree holders of engineering jobless in the state are yet to find their livelihood while as the number of unemployed diploma holders is more than eight thousand five hundred.
Jobless ITI trained youth are five thousand five hundred in Jammu and Kashmir. The number is enough to prick the balloon of government that it would strengthen the vocational training institutes in the state and would employ the trained youth here.
Pertinently, the figures at large remained unchanged and no efforts by the government to end this dreadful cries would entangle the situation further.
Though the posts in thousands are yet to be filled by the state authorities in JK, the unemployment is taking toll and what remains to be seen is how the new dispensation would put a lid over such a situation.
Though the new dispensation keeps the rhetoric going that it is committed to accord youth cent livelihood', unemployed in the state would stare towards the power corridors with the hope that some day their sighs would get an answer. Till then the fingers are crossed.
It is going to be a Herculean task and a roller coaster ride for the union government to tackle the crises related to the joblessness in the country. Will rapid industrialisation and new boom of development as promised by the union government prove to be a remedy?- only time is going to tell. |
