Muzaffarabad: The government should give proper attention towards eradicating unemployment.
These views were expressed by the speakers in the pre-budget seminar organized by the Business Forum AJK and GB.
The president of the forum Imran Aziz said on the occasion that the rate of literacy is much higher than other provinces of Pakistan but there is not any prospects of employment as there is not any big industry in the area and the educated youth have government jobs only.
“The young generation of AJK and GB should adopt business instead of doing government jobs.
During the seminar the way and means of earning for the youth through E-Commerce and Career counseling were discussed in detail.
Dr Samina Sabir, Dr Abdul Rauf, Faisal Jameel Kashmiri and Shahid Wani also spoke on the occasion. They said that the government may encourage tourism and industry in the area to create more jobs for the educated youth.
The speakers said that despite the business community forwarding its suggestions to the government before every year’s budget, it is unfortunate that the government did nothing for the development of the business so far.
