JAJJAR KOTLI, Aug 20: Underscoring the need for promoting employability, National Conference Provincial President Mr Devender Singh Rana today called for change in the mindset of youth about white collar jobs, saying entrepreneurship could be a viable option, not only for self-sustenance and generating jobs.
“Entrepreneurship has the prospect of leading a good life and deriving satisfaction of being a job provider”, Mr Rana said while inaugurating an establishment in the private sector at Jajjaar Kotli in Nagrota Assembly Constituency.
Mr Rana hoped that a positive approach and progressive vision in the private sector can be beneficial to society. It is an ethical responsibility of the entrepreneurs to ensure supply of credible products at affordable prices. Credibility is a huge investment in the business sector and those engaged in entrepreneurship should understand it for having harmonious relationships with clientele, he maintained.
The Provincial President said that being a job provider is a real thrill, adding that drive and initiative among youth in establishing profit generating units could be answer to burgeoning unemployment in a place like Jammu, where joblessness is increasing due to slow pace of recruitment in recent years as also limited number of openings in the government sector, the only job generator in the absence of industrial and corporate sectors.
Lauding the initiative of the entrepreneur Mr Imran Khan, the Provincial President wished him all the best in his endeavours, hoping this enterprise will be a source of sustenance for many skilled and unskilled workforce.
Prominent among those present on the occasion included DDC Sandal Shamim Begum, BDC Nagrota Ch Rehmat Ali, District President Jammu Rural B Som Nath Khajuria, Mohd Sadiq, Angrez Singh, Bishan Dass, Darshan Lal, Yog Raj, Bashir Ahmed, Mohd Sultan, Soni, Deepak Khajuria, Rajesh Baru and others.
