Srinagar, Apr 15: Deputy Chief Minister Surinder Choudhary on Wednesday said that the government is prioritising employment generation, having referred nearly 30,000 posts and facilitated recruitment of around 15,000 through various agencies over the past year in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Deputy Chief Minister said this while addressing a public gathering at Kunzar in the Gulmarg constituency.

He was accompanied by Advisor to Chief Minister Nasir Aslam Wani, MLA Gulmarg Peerzada Farooq Ahmad Shah, and senior officers.

Addressing the gathering, the Deputy Chief Minister reiterated the government’s commitment towards creating sustainable employment opportunities for the youth. He emphasised that thousands of vacancies have been referred and filled on merit through recruitment agencies, reflecting the administration’s efforts towards employment generation in J&K.

On the occasion, the Deputy Chief Minister felicitated beneficiaries under the Mission Yuva scheme and distributed sanction letters, cheques, and keys of commercial vehicles among them. He highlighted that the government is strengthening the self-employment ecosystem under Mission Yuva, enabling youth to establish business ventures and generate further employment opportunities.

During his address, he also underlined the importance of labour cards and urged people to register themselves to avail benefits such as educational scholarships, financial assistance for specially-abled individuals, and other welfare schemes.

Earlier, the Deputy Chief Minister laid the foundation stone for upgradation of the Kunzar–Hardshoora road in Kunzar.

He said that several road projects in Kunzar and other areas of the Gulmarg constituency were completed last year under NABARD, PMGSY, and other schemes, while many more are underway this year to further strengthen connectivity in the region.

Advisor Nasir Aslam Wani and MLA Peerzada Farooq Ahmad Shah also addressed the gathering and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to infrastructure development and youth empowerment across Jammu and Kashmir.

Earlier in the day, the Deputy Chief Minister, accompanied by MLA Tanvir Sadiq, paid obeisance at Gurudwara Damdama Sahib in HMT, Srinagar, and appreciated the shrine’s significance as an important spiritual centre for devotees.
