Workshop aiming to boost employment opportunities organised by J-K govt

Jammu and Kashmir administration organised a youth engagement workshop in Srinagar on October 31.

The outreach program saw presence of multinational companies, corporates, and different departments of the union territory government.

J-K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha headlined the event, and said the government wants around 80 percent youngsters of J-K to get employment opportunities in the next five years.

Several representatives of multinational companies gave presentation on how to engage J-K's youth who faces problems such as unemployment, lack of resources, financial assistance among others.

The motive of this workshop is to launch more schemes catering to the youngsters in J-K so they get better opportunities locally.
