Jammu: There are
about six lakh unemployed youth registered in Jammu and Kashmir,
the state assembly was told Thursday.
About 6 lakh educated unemployed youth of the state have been
registered with district Employment and Counselling Centres (E&CC)
up to December 2011, said Labour and Employment Minister Abdul
Gani Malik in reply to a question.
Out of these, 40,559 are professionals and 3,695 are other skilled
youth, he said, adding that the Sher-e-Kashmir Employment and
Welfare Programme for the Youth (SKEWPY) has been launched in the
state to tackle the problem of unemployment in a systematic and
coordinated manner.
Terming it a dynamic programme capable of improvement on the basis
of experience under the guidance of the Employment Facilitating
Agency, Malik said there was no need to have a new policy for the
present.
Launched by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in December 2009, SKEWPY
has provision of stipends to registered unemployed youth depending
on their education, to enable them go in for self-employment
ventures besides government jobs.
