| Forget Govt jobs, JK admin constitutes Task Force for ‘possibility’ to generate jobs | | Tareekh Pe Tareekh! | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 25: In yet another “setback” for the thousands of unemployed youth of Jammu and Kashmir, instead of offering the much-awaited government jobs, the administration has constituted a Task Force to look into “possibility” of generating new job opportunities.
On March 24, the J&K government constituted a 15-member Task Force for “possibility” of generating employment opportunities in the "new and upcoming 225 destinations identified by the Mission Youth, J&K".
As per an order issued by the GAD to this effect, the committee chaired by Financial Commissioner (Additional Chief Secretary) will have the administrative secretaries departments likes Housing & Urban Development Department and Animal, Sheep, Husbandry and Fisheries Departments as its members.
The Task Force , the order said, will "look into areas of possible convergence and setting out measures for creating employment opportunities in the new and upcoming 225 destinations identified by the Mission Youth, J&K".
The language of the order is being seen as yet another “dallying tactics” to tackle the growing unemployment. Recently the Government of India said that Jammu and Kashmir has the second highest unemployment rate in the country at 46 per cent.
A senior official told the Early Times on the condition of anonymity that instead of announcing jobs, the government was creating task force for the “possibility” of the same. “And then look at the language of the government order. It’s in itself not certain if the Task Force would be able to generate jobs as the order says ‘look into areas of possible convergence and setting out measures for creating employment opportunities…’ This means the government is itself not certain of making a breakthrough,” the official who is posted in the Civil Secretariat told the Early Times.
He said: “Raj Bhawan and its favourites officials on deputation have reduced the idea of governance to mere optics where even the Modi government is being misled.”
For the last several months, the people of Jammu and Kashmir and even some officials on the condition of anonymity have been appealing Prime Minister Narendra Modi to look into the reasons behind the “public alienation” in J&K.
Recently a senior politician said the blacksheep in the administration were sabotaging Modi’s vision of Naya Kashmir. |
