The Joining Programme was organized by S. Tejinder Singh Aman District President Jammu Urban YNC.
Expressing deep resentment, Rattan Lal Gupta stated that despite grand assurances on the floor of the Parliament, the ground reality in J&K remains unchanged.

He lamented that no major industries have been established, leaving the youth struggling for employment opportunities.
The senior NC leader further emphasized that the Omar Abdullah-led government has always been dedicated to the cause of youth empowerment. He urged the newly joined members to create awareness among the youth regarding various government schemes aimed at fostering entrepreneurship in J&K. He stressed that J&K's youth are hardworking and equally competent as their counterparts across the country, but they require adequate support and opportunities to excel.
Calling upon the party cadre, Rattan Lal Gupta urged them to strengthen the hands of Omar Abdullah and work diligently towards ensuring that the youth of J&K receive their due rights and opportunities. He reiterated the commitment of NC Govt headed by the Chief Minister Omar Abdullah to building a progressive and prosperous future for the younger generation, emphasizing that their growth and success are pivotal to the overall development of Jammu and Kashmir. He stated that the party would continue to advocate for policies and programs that focus on skill development, job creation, and educational advancement, ensuring that no young individual in the region is left behind.
The Provincial President underscored the necessity of collective efforts in shaping a future where the youth can contribute meaningfully to the progress of J&K, reiterating NC's resolve to stand by them in their aspirations and struggles.
Sheikh Bashir Ahmad Provincial Secretary Jammu asked the newly joined members to work hard and actively engage with the people at the grassroots level. He emphasized the importance of strengthening the party's base by connecting with the youth and addressing their concerns. He encouraged them to spread awareness about the party's vision and commitment to the welfare of J&K's youth, ensuring that they become a driving force in the region's development.
Addressing the gathering, Tejinder Pal Singh Aman apprised senior party leaders about the pressing issues faced by the youth, including rising unemployment and the lack of opportunities due to hollow policies adopted by previous regime.
