Unemployment is undoubtedly one of the biggest challenges the Jammu & Kashmir is facing today and as such it requires greater attention and intervention of the incumbent Govermment. While unprecedented rise in the number of educated unemployed youth heads to no dead end in Jammu & Kashmir like several states and union territories of the country, the lack of avenues for the unemployed youth makes them anxious about their future year after year. Youth with highest degree certificates in their hands don’t find any opportunity in job markets within and outside Jammu & Kashmir. The Government’s new industrial investment policy has though generated new hopes among the jobless youth in Jammu & Kashmir but the execution of new industrial investment policy is not picking up at the pace it should have picked up during last one year. By all standards of understandabilities the implementation of new industrial investment policy with greater intensity would have thrown open new avenues of employment for unemployed youth in private sector in both Kashmir Valley and Jammu division. Never forget that every unemployed youth of Jammu & Kashmir aspires for job with dignity like unemployed youth in most of the other parts of the country. Every youth pursues education with an urge to get a job after completion of a degree or diploma but youth with degrees in their hands finding no scope for employment in the job markers both within and outside Jammu & Kashmir find themselves in a state of depression.
In recent years it has been observed that Jobless educated youth suffer from an inferiority complex that shatters their confidence in the recruitment processes which start with advertisement notifications but do not end up with final selection in short time. As such fast pacing the implementation of the new industrial investment policy for creating more and more jobs and fast track recruitment process are the two biggest challenges for the Jammu & Kashmir Government in it’s struggle against unemployment.
In fact rising intensity of unemployment is the cause of depression found among education youth in Jammu & Kashmir and never forget also another fact that depression is also the cause of rising intensity in heart attacks among youth in Jammu & Kashmir. To reduce the rising intensity of depression among youth in Jammu & Kashmir it has become imperative for the Government to create more and more employment avenues through implementation of new industrial investment policy. It is not just a grievance that qualified unemployed youth suffer from anxiety and depression but it is an issue which demands greater attention of the Government as this is the only way not to let unemployed educated youth feel that they are a burden on their families. In recent years it has been observed that Jobless educated youth suffer from an inferiority complex that shatters their confidence in the recruitment processes which start with advertisement notifications but do not end up with final selection in short time.
