SRINAGAR, Dec 26: Supporting the demands of ‘Sakshar Bharat Mission’ (SBM) Coordinators, a Centrally sponsored flagship programme, J&K Pradesh Congress Committee (JKPCC) has emphasized that State Govt must come out with a concrete job policy for the people engaged under the Mission.
Reacting to the long pending demands of the SBM Coordinators, the PCC president GA Mir has said that Govt must take effective measures to strengthen the flagship programms launched earlier, as such programme will create more employment avenues for educated unemployed youth in the State.
While supporting the demands of SBM Coordinators agitating against the indifferent attitude of both State and Central Govt, Mir said that the ruling party must come out with a concrete job policy, besides releasing the wages in favour of the Coordinators working under the SBM.
Mir was approached by the SBM Forum led by Zahoor Ahmad Wani recently and submitted a memorandum with regard to their genuine demands. The PCC chief assured the Forum that Congress Party will fully support them.
Commenting on the difficulties confronting Coordinators working under this scheme, Mir said that there were at least 6000 Coordinators in number who have been engaged in this programme six years ago, but the Govt is yet to come out with a concrete job policy for them rather their pay dues were not being released for a long time, which is very unfortunate.
Adding that UPA- I and UPA- II has launched various flagship programmes such as NHM, MGNREGA and SBM aiming to ensure employment to educated youth of the State, Mir said that the Govt seems hell bent upon to make these programme defunct, indicating that both State and Centre has no policy for educated unemployed of the State, as a result, the anguish and anger among the youth was on the rise.
PCC chief urged upon the Govt to come out with a concrete job policy for these Coordinators and emphasized that their pay dues should be released at the earliest.
