Unemployment nourishing drug menace and other social evils in Kashmir: Prime Ministar Shri Narinder Modi Ji & Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha Ji a ray of hope for Youth of Kashmir

Syed Irfan Hashmi

KASHMIR:Unemployment can certainly contribute to social problems such as drug addiction, as it can lead to feelings of hopelessness, frustration and low self-esteem. When young people are unable to find work, they may turn to drugs or other destructive behaviors as a way of coping with their situation. This is particularly true in areas where there are few opportunities for employment and little hope for the future.

Syed Irfan Hashmi added In the case of Jammu and Kashmir, youth unemployment has been a longstanding issue, and has been identified as a major contributing factor to social problems in the region. According to the Economic Survey of Jammu and Kashmir, the unemployment rate among youth aged 18-29 was 22.5%, and now it is 23% in 2023 which is significantly higher than the national average. This high level of unemployment has been identified as a key factor in the rise of drug addiction and other social problems in the region.

Syed Irfan Hashmi a prominent Socio political activist chairman Inspire World appeal Shri Narinder Modi Ji and Shri Manoj Sinha ji to address this issue, it is important for the government and other stakeholders to focus on creating more job opportunities for young people, particularly in sectors that are relevant to the local economy. This could include investments in infrastructure, tourism, and other industries that have the potential to generate employment and boost economic growth. Additionally, efforts should be made to improve access to education and training programs, and to provide support for young people in developing the skills and experience they need to succeed in the workforce. By addressing the root causes of youth unemployment, it may be possible to reduce the incidence of drug addiction and other social problems in Jammu and Kashmir.

Syed Irfan hashmi further said it is also responsibility of general public to take their social responsibility and guide their wards to progressive and developmental ways and not to put them in hell like drugs and other social evils. He appreciates the commendable work against drugs and other social evils by J&K Police and other government and non government organisations who has worked hard together and brought kashmir to new level. The kashmir has touched the new nights. The old trend HARTAL/ STONEPLENTING has now changed towards progressive and developmental ways: The only thing now is to priorities and enhance employment opportunities for the youths of Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir.

It is an earnest hope that honorable personalities Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and Lieutenant Governor Shri Manoj Sinha Ji would do everything in their capacity to crush the menace of drugs and unemployment. Youth have complete faith on beloved Prime Minister Shri Narinder Modi ji & Shri Manoj Sinha Ji will never let their hopes down.
