| Development & good governance | | | Except the Kashmir row, traditionally there have been no takers for development and good governance in J&K during elections. The people of J&K rightfully deserve good governance and equal chances of bettering their lives and hence, one hopes, the electorate would surely weigh their options before casting their crucial vote this time.
The state which has heavily depended on the Centre’s assistance for its development, has in recent times witnessed a surge in unemployment among the Kashmiri youth. The scarcity of employment opportunities is distracting the youth to drugs and anti-social activities.
There are hundreds of jobless but educated youth in the Valley, who are finding it difficult to meet their daily needs. The problem of unemployment, combined with unfulfilled economic needs, and shattered dreams has pushed the Kashmiri youth into a deep sea of frustration, drugs, smoke and anti-social thinking. It has given a golden opportunity to various militant organisations to lure local youth and mobilise their support for jihad.
The issue of joblessness among local youth poses a big challenge for the political parties, who would be required to come out with sustainable plan to bring a paradigm change in their lives.
Tackling separatism could be a sure way out. For by keeping a check on violence, the tourism sector, that has the potential of generating lakhs of jobs, can once again be given a boost. The proof of this could be seen in months before the Amarmnath row broke out.
