Srinagar: A survey has shown that Jammu and Kashmir is witnessing a decline in unemployment rate since August 5, 2019, a significant year when the Indian government scrapped Article 370 and 35A.


The survey also showed that the Valley also recorded an improvement in the employment avenues following the tourism boom after the scrapping of Article 370 and 35A.

According to the Economic Survey Report released by Chief Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir UT, Arun Kumar Mehta in April this year, the unemployment rate among youth has declined from 6.7 per cent in 2019-20 to 5.2 per cent in 2021-22, reported ANI.

The report stated, “This year the gains achieved in the past three years are expected to reach new heights as the historical G20 Summit is taking place in three days’ time. Moreover, the third record-breaking tourist season can bring big positive social change in the lives of people of Jammu and Kashmir.”

The report read that a healthy work environment was being created for youth by providing an integrated platform for greater facilitation of job seekers and job providers through systematic interventions including counselling and awareness campaigns.

“During the current fiscal, 678 community career counselling and 82,369 individual counselling sessions were organized”, read the government’s report.

The report further said, “More than 1 lakh youth were registered as job seekers on the employment portal. A total of 51,004 units have been established under various Self-employment Schemes (SESs) and thereby direct employment avenues were provided to 2.03 lakh young boys and girls.”
