The meeting focused on the mounting challenges faced by the youth of Jammu and Kashmir due to anti-youth policies adopted by the successive regime headed by BJP, particularly in light of the ongoing recruitment scams and rising unemployment.

Rattan Lal Gupta, Provincial President of JKNC, expressed serious concerns over the lack of progress in addressing youth issues during previous regime.He said that failure of BJP Government in creating adequate job avenues in the country has led to mass suffering of the youth, Jammu and Kashmir has been the worst victim of this broken commitment. He said that unemployment is at peak in the UT and youths are left with no option but to come out on roads seeking justice. “Even the Ph.D degree holders are finding it difficult to get the jobs leave aside the others having lesser qualifications”, he said and demanded that aspirants in J&K should be given fair deal by giving them age relaxation on the lines of KAS examination.

He also strongly supported the young and aspiring youths of J&K by asking SSB and J&K PSC to consider the demands of the protesting youths without wasting even a jiffy claiming that youths deserve much more and it is the duty of the people at helm to sort out things which the young brigade has been confronting due to wrong precedents set by the dispensations that ruled J&K in last over one decade.

Inspiring the NC youth wing activists, Zaheer Abdullah, a dynamic youth leader of JKNC, laid stress on ensuring holistic grooming of the young population at school and college levels. He said that India is the country of 65 per cent youths and it could do wonders if the energy of its young people is channelized and used in a prolific manner.
