| J&K govt devises three pronged strategy for implementation | | New Delhi’s Employment Package | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 5: Jammu and Kashmir government has devised three pronged strategy to successfully implement centre's recently announced fresh employment package for the youth.
Official sources said that package would be a three pronged plan. Under the package, centre would give adequate financial assistance to the state government to fill up all the vacant posts and create new posts which could enable unemployed youth to find better job avenues within the state.
Secondly, centre plans to persuade public sector enterprises and private industrialists in the country to earmark some jobs for the youth from Jammu and Kashmir. Under this plan, public and private sector undertakings would be asked to sanction stipend for those unemployed youth from Jammu and Kashmir who would be appointed as trainees.
Center would help the state government in its task of bringing several industrial units out of their current sickness so that they are able to increase job avenues. Thirdly, Government would issue fresh guidelines to the Army, Air Force, Navy and the paramilitary forces for reserving some jobs for the youth in Jammu and Kashmir. The experiment was introduced since 2002 when the then Chief Minister, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed pleaded with the centre that these forces should be told to have reserved quota for youth in Jammu and Kashmir.
State has over five lakh unemployed youth registered in the employment exchanges and every year more than 20,000 educated youth are added to the list. Since the state has a very weak industrial base. During the last over three decades, staff strength in various government and public sector enterprises has reached the saturation point. Hence, scope for added job avenues had become quite limited unless the centre sanctions financial support for creating new posts.
Under the Prime Minister's employment package for displaced, Prime Minister had announced that 6,000 posts would be created in the Kashmir valley for unemployed youth from the displaced families. Centre had agreed to meet the wage bill for 3,000 posts and the state had to bear expenses for the remaining 3,000 posts.
But state government informed the centre that since the state faced financial problem; it was not possible for it to the wage bill for 3,000 posts and requested the Prime Minister to include all the 6,000 posts in the central sector. Matter is undecided as it is about the issue of the selection order. Migrant youths have been selected for various jobs in Kashmir but they have not been able to join the place of postings because of the four-month long turmoil.
