Mr Baldev Singh Raina has applauded the UT administration for adopting the youth centric policies , Baldev Singh said that the issue was religiously raised by PHDCCI as alarming by CMIE report wherein J&K is having 15% unemployment rate which is almost 3 times the national unemployment rate of country. 

 

The Government of J&K headed by Manoj Sinha ji and Chief Secretary Dr Arun Kumar Mehta has done a highly commendable work by providing handholding to youth of J&K through Mission Youth which aims at creating a strong and prosperous generation of youngsters. 

 

The mission youth is lead by dynamic administrative officer Dr Shahid Iqbal Chaudhary and that needs to be empowered with J&K Youth Advisory Council, a high-power committee for Youth Policy Implementation through J&K Youth Development Corporation (JKYDC), and Yuva Bhavans or Youth Clubs each district headquarters needs to be established. 

 

Baldev further stated we as responsible citizens need to answer that do we really need the youth of J&K to run behind a salary alone, we are expecting the youth to come forward and aim and focus on becoming job providers and for that the government will make sure that the voice of youth is heard and catered to, especially in the context of the existing reforms in J&K and complete robust policy needs to be framed for Handholding of youth of J&K for establishing the Starup units.
