| Jammu sidelined again, Ramesh announces one lakh jobs to Kashmiri youth | | |
srinagar: The decades discrimination doled out to Jammu yet has not seized as the Union Minister Jairam Romesh announced one lakh jobs but only for Kashmiri youths.
He announced this while speaking on the launch of project Himayat under which the youth below 10th standard are able to get training in various skill trades.
Under the project Himayat the Cafe Cofee Day, V-Mart, Bajaj Alliance, Airtel Call Centers, Best Price (Bharti Walmart) and other companies have played a key role for the project implementation to create more job avenues for skilled and unskilled youths.
Speaking on the launch of project, Union Minister Jairam Ramesh complemented the state government and its machinery for their full cooperation in making the project success but he at nowhere mentioned the job for youths of whole state. While announcing the job opportunities, he announced one lakh jobs to be created for Kashmiri youths.
But as the routine affair the state and central leadership diplomatically brushed aside the Jammu and Ladakh and tried to appeased the Kashmiri youths and spoke of the jobs absorption for Kashmiri youths.
1059 youths were provided on spot employment orders during the function, which was also attended by Union Minister for Rural development Jai Ram Ramesh besides others, for working in private companies in the state and outside.
JKNPP youth leader said on a telephone, "JKNPP demands re-organisation of the Jammu and Kashmir as Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir regions are totally different in terms of geography, culture, living and traditions."
Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh were separate Kingdoms as per the history, he said adding there is need for providing separate political, economic and education infrastructure in all the three regions, he said further adding that Jammu and Ladakh region has been discriminated for past several decades on all fronts and Kashmir has enjoyed as decision making units.
Another Jammuites Ajit Singh said that since from the six decades the successive central governments have been found inclined towards Kashmir while neglecting the aspirations and the interests of Jammu and Ladakh. "And this was once again indicated by the today's announcement by union minister infront of the state leadership, he added.
While launching the ''Himayat Project' at the Kashmir University, here in Srinagar, Omar said, majority of the Kashmiri youth wants to support their family and moves outside the state for employment opportunities. "Under the Himayat project, we will send youths outside the state to work there in different companies.
Omar however expressed his 'happiness that at least this report of Rangarajan was effectively translated into reality as compared to other previous such reports and recommendations'.
Omar said the state was entering a new phase of economic development and the state government cannot be the sole employer. "At Present State is facing the burden of Rs. 14.50 thousand crores on account of salaries and pensions of the employees, while we are still striving for creating more job opportunities at government level but at the same time the role of private sector is pivotal," he added. |
