It is well said that an “unemployed” existence is a worse negation of life than death itself. It is unfortunate that lacs of “job hunters” in the valley have been grappling with the authorities regarding unemployment issues. Despite high qualifications, they are not in a position to acquire their livelihood. However, the successive Governments have failed to provide employment to the qualified youth of the UT. Injustice towards job seekers has pushed them towards social crimes. They have been craving negative energies like drug and alcohol addiction, murders, suicides and so on. This has compelled the current administration to figure out the issues related to unemployment. Authorities in their own capacities have come forward to ameliorate job opportunities for youngsters. Furthermore, the LG administration is on a mission to encourage the youth so that they come out of the tragic experiences related to ‘joblessness”. Nowadays, Mega job fairs are being organised in different parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The grand fairs aim to adjust the jobless youngsters in different companies in the near future. Recently also, a mega job fair was inaugurated in North Kashmir’s Baramulla. Near about six Job providers from various sectors were engaged in this grand event which included companies like Jio Fibre, Natural Life Care, Kashmir Valley Motors, Ghani Printing Press Sopore, and ICICI Lombard. Fortunately, 200 job hunters from the district participated in the event. The event was quite successful as forty-five youngsters were shortlisted by various companies for different jobs and fifty candidates registered themselves on the employment Portal instantly. Moreover, the representatives of several companies addressed the youngsters and added to their knowledge regarding the changing requirement of industry, proficiency, and talent required for employment in modern times. This built confidence in the youngsters. It has also strengthened the trust bond between youngsters and the current administration. As soon as the event ended, the jobless youth from District Baramulla appreciated the efforts of the employment and Counseling Centre, Baramulla for organising such a big event. They were grateful to the authorities for providing employment opportunities in various companies which will help them to excel in their fields. There are possibilities of acquiring more and more jobs in the future. We hope the administration will keep up the good work and help the youth to cope up in difficult times.
