He asked the concerned implementing agencies to reach out to the youth at their doorsteps to widen scope of the programme for optimum benefit of un-employed youth
Chairing a high-level meeting convened here today to review the progress of the programmes envisioned in the SKEWPY, Rather said it was absolutely necessary to bring youth of the far-flung and remote areas in the ambit of the programme, adding, it has tremendous potential for providing dignified and lucrative job avenues.

Runiyal, Secretary, Labaour and Employment, Farooq Ahmad Peer, Director Entrepreneurship Development Institute (EDI) Dr. M. I. Paray and Director Employment, Shafat Noor.
