Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, June 10: Youth All India Kashmiri Samaj (YAIKS), held an interactive session here, today under the leadership of its president, R. K. Bhat in which various issues were discussed.
The meeting expressed satisfaction over the implementation of major portion of the sanctioned 6000 PM’s job package for displaced community, which was announced long back in April, 2008 by then Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh. Among others who addressed the meeting included B.K.Bhat, Sunil Koul, Manoj Handoo, Ajay Safaya, Sanjay Ganjoo, Rakesh Fotadar, D.N.Bhat, Pushkar Nath Pandita and Bushan Lal Dhar.
It demanded that the Government of India (GoI) should also reserve 2% to 4% posts for displaced KP youth in Central Government departments, PSUs and Educational Institutes for the long term needs and a special recruitment drive for the community youth be launched in security agencies.
The meeting demanded that another 3000 jobs be sanctioned by the Government in favour of those Kashmiri migrant families who couldn’t be benefitted under the PM’s employment scheme with the procedure of ‘one family one job’ because all the displaced  families are equally suffering. This way the scheme of heeling touch will reach to each and every migrant family, it added.
It said the selection should be purely on the basis of eligibility of candidates as per their qualification being a rehabilitation scheme. The vacancies should be also advertised for gazetted posts including doctors and other higher qualified job seekers.
The meeting criticized the recruitment agencies SSRB and Relief Organization for keeping some vacancies unnecessarily reserved in favour of SC/ST/ALC/OCS, despite the fact that there is a Cabinet Decision No. 143/19/2011 Dt. 19.08.2011 (De-reservation of reserved category post) and the JK High Court directions also vide LPA No. 207/2012 dt. 02.06.2015 in this regard. This becomes futile and time consuming exercise only, when there are no such categories among Kashmiris.
The meeting further demanded one time compensation of Rs. 50 lac in favour of over aged youth of the community who are the first victims of the terrorism and displacement and have been ignored by the Government time and -again. The YAIKS has already initiated to collect the data form from common masses through the online web portals and as on date 1200 youth have registered their names.
