JAMMU, Nov 20: The Vice-Chairperson of Jammu & Kashmir Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes & Backward Classes Development Corpor-ation Limited, Balbir Ram Rattan, while sharing the welfare schemes for different reserved categories with the leaders of BJP SC Morcha, stressed upon them to motivate the unemployed youth to not sit idle but set up their own earning units by availing loan benefits.
The Vice-Chairperson told them that the SCs, STs & BCs Development Corporation Limited is working for the economic upliftment of the people belonging to reserved categories with the funds being made available by the Government at the Centre and in the State.
“The Corporation is the Channelizing Agency for the disbursement of funds allocated by the Apex Corporation and the State Government”, Balbir said and added that the loan aspirants have the facility to apply for the financial assistance in their respective districts instead of running to capital cities of Jammu or Srinagar.
Balbir further told them that although every educated youth dreams of Government job but all cannot get employment as the population and number of unemployed males and females keep going up every year. In such a situation, it becomes imperative on parts of the elders in family, political and social activists to work towards motivating the unemployed people to avail loan from the Corporation or other financial institutions to set up own units to earn the livelihood.
Led by BJP SC Morcha senior leader N.D. Rajwal, the team members included Rakesh Sangral, Jagdev Raj Toofani, Hardesh Khokhan and Manohar Lal Menia.
