Baramulla, under the leadership of Deputy Commissioner (DC) Minga Sherpa,
launched the Mission Yuva Awareness Campaign with the theme Udyam Jagriti
(Awakening Enterprises) at a grand event in Sangrama today.
This initiative, aligned with the vision of
“Yuva Sapne, Nayi Ummedein” (Youth Dreams, New Hopes), aims to empower
unemployed and underemployed youth by transforming them into job creators
through entrepreneurship.
The event commenced with a detailed
PowerPoint presentation by the Counselor Career Officer (CCO) of the Employment

To ensure seamless registration under the
scheme, ADC Baramulla, Dr. Zahoor Ahmad Raina, demonstrated the step-by-step
registration process.

awareness about the scheme within their communities and to actively cooperate
with enumerators during the upcoming baseline survey.
DC Minga Sherpa, in his keynote address,
highlighted the significance of Mission Yuva in fostering an entrepreneurial
culture among the youth of Baramulla. “This scheme focuses on identifying and
supporting unemployed and underemployed individuals, offering them
capacity-building programs, financial support, and training to ensure
self-reliance. Our vision is to transform job seekers into job providers,” he
remarked.
A baseline survey is set to begin soon, with
trained enumerators collecting data to identify potential beneficiaries. The
initiative also promises smooth financial assistance and capacity-building
workshops to equip youth with the skills necessary to establish successful
enterprises.
A registration counter for Mission Yuva was
set up at the venue, attracting 95 youths who registered for the initiative.
The counter provided an opportunity for young individuals to sign up and
participate in the mission, aimed at empowering youth and fostering development
in the community.
The event witnessed enthusiastic
participation from youth, and other stakeholders, all of whom pledged their
support for the campaign. DC Sherpa called on everyone to collaborate and
