The survey details inform further that more than four thousand five hundred registered degree holders of engineering jobless in the state are yet to find their livelihood while as the number of unemployed diploma holders is more than eight thousand five hundred.
Jobless ITI trained youth are five thousand five hundred in Jammu and Kashmir. The number is enough to prick the balloon of government that it would strengthen the vocational training institutes in the state and would employ the trained youth here.
Pertinently, the figures at large remained unchanged and no efforts by the government to end this dreadful crisis would entangle the situation further.
Though the posts in thousands are yet to be filled by the state authorities in JK, the unemployment is taking toll and what remains to be seen is how the new state dispensation would put a lid over such a situation.
Though the new dispensation keeps the rhetoric going that it is committed to accord youth the 'decent livelihood', unemployed in the state would stare towards the power corridors with the hope that someday their sighs would get an answer. Till then the fingers are crossed. |
