J&K govt needs to focus on tackling problem of unemployment: PDP

Srinagar, Aug 21 : Ruling Peoples Democratic Partry (PDP) today urged the state government to focus on tackling problem of unemployment through an effective and implementable policy based on an organised use of available resources and support.
In a statement issued here today, PDP general secretary Nizamudin Bhat urged the government to address this problem before the youth loses hope at the peril of our future.
He said it is this problem which poses a serious threat to social fabric and state’s policy as the youth is losing direction as well as faith in the system.
Mr Bhat said technocrats, qualified persons and skilled labour, who could have built and empowered the state, are wasting their potential talent and energy in absence of adequate prospect of absorption in a positive and fruitful activity.
He said such is the obtaining scenario that entire generation is in disarray, bound to pile up as a disorganized and dejected mass.
Mr Bhat said that there has been obvious saturation in government sector and gap in aspirants and vacancies is widening in every day.
Similarly, he said the public and private sectors do not grow to meet the demand. Horticulture, Tourism, Handicrafts, Agriculture and Environment sectors have to be made more vibrant and growth oriented to come over the stagnation and arrest the decline.UNI
