| Govt opening polytechnic College in each district: Rather ‘Inaugurates treasury at Nogam’ | | |  EARLY TIMES REPORT
Srinagar, October 31: Underscoring the need to train the youth professionally commensurate to the job market, the Minister for Finance and Ladakh Affairs, Mr. Abdul Rahim Rather today said that one full fledged government polytechnic college would be opened in each district of the state to impart professional training to the unemployed youth. One such polytechnic college shall also be established at Nagam in Chrar-i-Sharief constituency for which land has already been acquired.
Addressing a public gathering after inaugurating a government treasury at Nagam in district Budgam, Mr. Rather said the government is exploring all the possible opportunities to create jobs in public sector but it is was not possible to provide government jobs to everyone as the number of educated unemployed youth in the state has touched to 7 lakh. He said the government is keen to make the future of youth bright, for which Sher-i-Kashmir Employment and Welfare Programme for Youth (SKEWPY), first of its kind in the country, has been launched which has been appreciated even by the Planning Commission of India. He asked the youth to avail benefits of this novel employment policy to secure dignified job, not only for themselves but for others too.
The Government Treasury at Nagam is 8th Treasury in district Budgam raising the total number of treasuries in the Kashmir division to 66. The treasury would ease pressure on government treasury Chadoora and provide cash drawal facilities to about 21 drawing and disbursing officers.
Reiterating his mission to serve the people as per their urges and aspiration for their trust and faith reposed on him, Mr. Rather said “I endeavour for equitable justice and uniform development of all the areas”. He also announced Chadoora would be given the status of sub-district. He enumerated various under construction Road and Bridge projects in Chrar-i-Sharief constituency adding that Nagam-Lolipora-Gaggi Patheri road is being widened and macadamized at a cost of Rs. 16 crore. He said Kralwari Bridge has been completed at a cost of Rs. 12 crore while as the Nowpora bridge has been completed and shall be commissioned shortly. Likewise, Sogam-Badipora bridge and Panzan Bridge are under construction. These road projects would generate socio-economic activities in the area, Mr. Rather added.
