Govt is leaving no stone unturned to catch with the unemployed youth of J&K. Private sector is being lured with every possible support from government and its machinery, but what our youth is getting in reality? The facts and figures are shocking. We carried survey of some such companies functional in J&K, and were shocked to see what is being served to our unemployed educated starwing youth. We start with:
Hindustan Construction Company one of the major construction company operating in Jammu & Kashmir, who made their maiden entry during 2005, build many projects like Uri II, Qazigund – Banihal Railway Tunnel, and have many in line projects like famous Kishanganga Hydroelectric Project, Rail Tunnel Project in Banihal and so on. They are flaunting all the rules and regulations when employment of locals is concerned. From a workforce of 200 people (Management, Engineering & Administration) have just 10 Or 12 local employees posted at different locations in J&K. The figures should had been 70-30 Or at least 50-50, but keeping rules aside they are violating every contract clause. Our youth can compete in any part of the world, but doors in their home land are closed.Are our resources as well funds for misuse only? The company and its administration have minted millions from these projects, but are depriving our educated unemployed youth of their basic rights. To get a job in the company, one has to keep moving from pillar to post for years and at the end you are told project is over and better luck next time. Our youth puts high hopes with every project the company is allocated in J&K, but at the end, they have to again wait for a new project, with new hopes.
And the condition of 4 – 6% who conquered the everest is even worst, on condition of anonymity, those working with this organisations are treated worst than slaves at these projects. One is supposed to work for 12 – 15 hours daily for 365 days, without expecting any Sunday or Holiday. If one asks for a holiday, the people at helm start abusing and threaten you of dire consequences.
While contacting the management at their HO in mumbai, no one turned back for the necessary inputs.
