My dream is to see youths as successful entrepreneurs: Omar

PAMPORE : Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said his mission to see youths of the State making new strides and achieving new highs in the vast field of entrepreneurship is above any political motives or vote-bank politics.

“I am not at all concerned whether qualified youths and budding entrepreneurs support my political ideology or not and cast their votes in my favour or not. But, my only dream is to see them as successful entrepreneurs in the State,” he said.

The Chief Minister was addressing the unit holders who have entered the entrepreneurship field through the initiative of Sher-i-Kashmir Employment and Welfare Programme for Youth (SKEWPY), projected and piloted by Omar Abdullah, here, 16-km from Srinagar.

Omar asked them to e-mail their experiences and difficulties directly to him. He also gave his e-mail ID to them.

“If you are not in a position to see me personally, you can mail your difficulties to me through e-mail so that I will address your concerns with regard to launch of your units,” he said.

The Chief Minister said he is satisfied that more than 2000 educated youths have successfully launched their projects under SKEWPY during the last three years.

Omar said his Government, J&K Bank and Entrepreneurship Development Institute are at the beck and call of intending entrepreneurs for all possible help and handholding to nurture their talent and make them successful entrepreneurs. (AGENCIES)
