SKEWPY document drafted by ignorant experts of the Kitchen cabinet of Chief Minister

Sangarsh- A movement for Justice, Equality, Peace, Prosperity and Brotherhood today in a press conference at Jammu University has condemned the state government for making mockery of the unemployed youth of the state through its Sher-E-Kashmir Employment and Welfare Programme for Youth (SKEWPY).
Addressing to the media persons General Secretary of the Sangarsh movement Mr. Suresh Kumar informed that after going through the document of 38 pages of employment policy it seems that it is not drafted by any intelligentsia but by the people who are basically seems to be ignorant or pretend to be the persons who are away from the ground. These persons who claim themselves to be the experts of the kitchen cabinet of Chief Minister Omar Abdullah actually have no knowledge of ground realities.
According to Suresh in the document the utmost stress is laid down only on the
I) Construction of the buildings and other infrastructure for the District Employment and Counseling Centers,
ii) Renaming of the District Employment Exchanges as District Employment and Counseling Centers.
iii) Measurement of land in square feet for offices, cost of land, design of building, canteen facility etc. By only renaming the offices and changing their building designs what benefit would the unemployed youth get???
Besides this, some promises are also made such as the availability of the information on all self employment schemes of the state government and the central government, information regarding all government jobs, advertisements issued by the JKPSC, Service Selection Board, JK Police Recruitment Board etc.
Suresh questioned that how these hollow promises of government shall be fruitful for the unemployed youth of the state. He stressed that the youth needs some concrete job package and not the promises which possess no weightage on ground. Such slogans are good in hearing but these cannot fulfill our basic necessities i.e. Roti, Kapaara aur Makkan, he remarked.
Adding, he opined that today the minimum average budget of a family of five members on only food in a day comes around Rs. 150 that comprises breakfast, lunch and dinner. In this proportion it comes out to be Rs. 4500/- per month and so in continuity the annual expenditure of a family only on food comes out to be Rs. 54000/- per annum and if we include other things the graphs rises and rises “Nanga naheya ga kya aur nichore ga kya” and our Chief Minister says that the financial aid shall be given to the families having annual income from all sources less than 50000/-per annum. Will our Hon’ble Chief Minister clarify to the people of the state that under such circumstances when the inflation on the food items is more than 19%, to whom they are going to give benefit through his package?
Is this not merely an eye wash just to carry the vehicle of politics on track, he asked? Ruling out any new scheme in the package, suresh said that all the entrepreneurship schemes of the government are the older one running from the last so many years.
On one way Suresh also hails for the concern behavior of the young Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir state Omar Abdullah for the youth of the state but the document released by the government yet not to be treated on the expectations of Sher- E- Kashmir Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah on whose 104th birth anniversary it was released. Sangarsh appeals to the Chief Minister to make it relevant on the ground realities of at least one million unemployed youth of the state.
Also expressing the views Joint Secretary Mr. Nitin Sharma opined that the document is silent on those youth who belong to the families of refugees from Pakistan and Pakistan occupied Kasshmir (POK) who are settled in the state from the last so many decades. The document also observed criminal silence on the youth belonging to the displaced Kashmiri Pandits. Flaying the state government he opined that it is ironical that you can get car loan on lesser interest rate than government‘s employment package loan. He expressed that till the government comes with some concrete package all its policies alre vague in nature.
Prominent among others who were present include Munish Mahajan, Anil Kumar and Ashok Kumar.
