While challenges of employment amid unprecedented rise in unemployment are growing month after month, the industrial entrepreneurship misused by the leaders of the successive popular governments of erstwhile Jammu & Kashmir state for the economic upliftment of their own children if used properly for the career building of the genuine jobless entrepreneurs would be beginning of a new era of economic empowerment of the jobless youth in Jammu & Kashmir. If the incumbent Government takes a cursory look at the records of the land allotments at the Industrial Estates of both Kashmir valley and Jammu division during the reigns of erstwhile popular Governments of erstwhile state, it would hopefully find the big chunks of land at the industrial estates of both Kashmir and Jammu division occupied by the industrial units which are owned mostly by the children of former ministers, former MLAs and retired bureaucrats. Unfortunately while the power and merit was being mostly compromised in the general recruitment processes untaken even for the appointments to key Government services and prestigious positions in key Government departments only to accommodate and adjust the children of power wielding politicians and retired bureaucrats, the land allotment and industrial policies too were designed to accommodate and adjust mostly the jobless children of the most influential power wielding politicians and retired bureaucrats during the resigns of successive popular governments in erstwhile state. So the children of the both the uninfluential and inaccessible sections of population had very little hope in both the Government appointments and as well as the industrial entrepreneurship in all the three regions of erstwhile state.

Shutting down the doors for the children of uninfluential and inaccessible sections of the population both in Government jobs and as well as industrial entrepreneurship is obviously the cause of growing frustration among the jobless youth of Jammu & Kashmir most of whom  have now fallen in trap of drug addiction. As none else than Lt Governor Manoj Sinha has committed to reach out to the last youth in the last row for the economic empowerment of the jobless youth of Jammu & Kashmir, the wrongs of the past in both the general recruitment processes and as well as industrial entrepreneurship the bedrock of which is land allotment at industrial estates past if corrected through transparent corrective measures would mark the beginning of  a new era of employment generation and industrial expansion in Jammu & Kashmir.

Had any one of the successive popular governments of erstwhile state taken care of the accommodation and adjustment of the jobless children of   both the uninfluential and inaccessible sections of population in either Government jobs or industrial entrepreneurship, the intensity of the increasing unemployment would have been largely reduced to a greater extent in both Kashmir valley and Jammu division? Shutting down the doors for the children of uninfluential and inaccessible sections of the population both in Government jobs and as well as industrial entrepreneurship is obviously the cause of growing frustration among the jobless youth of Jammu & Kashmir most of whom  have now fallen in trap of drug addiction.
