Sangarsh appealed to Chief Minister to clear his stand on Scholarship

Sangarsh -A movement for Justice, Equality, Peace, Prosperity and Brotherhood today held a press conference at Jammu University in connection to rumors prevailing among the unemployed youth of the state regarding the scholarship/ incentives by the state government as per their qualification.
Addressing the media persons the General Secretary of the Sangarsh movement Mr. Suresh Kumar informed that after the announcement at the official level that from this year onward the state government shall provide scholarship to all unemployed youth of the Jammu and Kashmir irrespective of their social and economic status, we are seeing huge rush at all the district level Employment Exchange Offices where everyday youth from both urban and rural areas reaches to avail this facility. As per the information circulated at government level the unemployed youth upto matriculation level shall get Rs. 500/- per month, undergraduate unemployed youth shall get Rs. 1000/- per month, a youth who is graduate shall get Rs. 1500/- per month, a post graduate and a research scholar shall get Rs.2000/- and 2500/- per month respectively. But last week when contacted to the officials of these offices they claimed that till date no direction has been issued by the government in this regard in writing so to comment on any such scheme would be a pre mature statement. When asked them that why they are advising the youth to fill this form, the higher officials claimed that it the routine exercise, because they have to collect the data of total number of unemployed population.
Criticizing the silence observed by the government Suresh said that no body has any right to make mockery of unemployed youth and by spreading such type of rumors in the society, the present coalition government has done the same. He said that whatever government is doing on their part is OK but after assuring and then observing silence on that, means there is something cooking beyond the curtain just the keep the vehicle of politics on track. He claimed that the youth of state is enough competent to earn for himself but the way the government is trying to befool us shall not be good for the government and this time we shall leave no stone unturned to get justice for the unemployed youth of the state.
He appealed to the Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah to clear his stand on the controversy as the people of the state particularly the youth has high hopes on him.
Prominent among others who made their presence include Ms. Meenakshi Anand (Joint Secretary, Records), Mr. Nitin Sharma (Joint Secretary, Media) Ms. Monika, Mr. Anil Kumar, and Mr. Waheed, Executive members.
