Reasi, July 27 (Scoop News)-Carrying on its objective of making the youth self –reliable JKEDI Reasi started a fresh batch of 62 candidates under Himayat at Govt Higher Sec School Mahore. The candidates will be trained under the Himayat Self Employment Component -a part of the Skills Empowerment and Employability (SEE) scheme of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) and and Ministry of Rural Development GOI.

Addressing the gathering, Communication Officer JKEDI Dr. Majid Manzoor Khan emphasized on importance of young entrepreneurs.
“The mindset is changing, youngsters are shunning conventional jobs and pursuing out of the box ideas with the help of JKEDI,” he added.
JKEDI is organizing enterpreneurship development programme in mahore for the first time so that the candidates from the remote and hilly areas of the district will also get benefits of this GOI sponsered scheme , Dr. Majid Manzoor Khan said.
He added that Joblessness in Jammu and Kashmir has long been exacerbated by a complex conflict and protracted instability. As such the state has been looking for opportunities in employment. The weak, tenuous local economy and its fluctuations have left many with few or no options for economic management. While unemployment impacts everyone, this issue affects young people acutely. Jammu & Kashmir has more than 6 lakh people registered with district employment and counseling centers. This created the need for special schemes like Himayat catering to youth from low-income families. It gives priority to those with humble socio-economic background , he added.

The other officers from JKEDI Sorab Mengi and Irfan Khan were also present on the occasion.
