    Ajaz Ahmad Bhat, Director, JKEDI attended the event as the chief guest. He is on a tour to twin border districts of Rajouri and Poonch.

    In his address, he commended the initiative of Himalayan Degree College, Rajouri for imbibing a spirit of leadership among the students. “This spirit acts as a guiding philosophy for the holistic development of students,” the director said, discussing his experience of the overall entrepreneurial scene in J&K.

    With a special emphasis on his tenure in the Industries and Commerce Department and Horticulture Department, he spoke about the learning he gained from his service career. He elucidated how the various policies of the UT Government have encouraged the spirit of entrepreneurship.

    He added that the need of the hour was to generate consciousness among parents to foster entrepreneurship culture in children.

    The Director also enumerated the benefits of the term loan scheme under National Minorities Development and Finance Corporation (NMDFC) and how this initiative of the Government is generating self-employment amongst the minority community. “There is no dearth of innovation and initiative among the youth of J&K. They should set up entrepreneurial ventures rather than wait for government jobs. A focus should be placed on the creation of enterprises that make use of locally available raw materials. Unemployment is a serious challenge for all of us and only entrepreneurship is the way forward,” he added.

    The Director further added that the Institute was in the process of starting short-term courses in entrepreneurship for school and college students. The aim behind starting such courses was to enable young minds to develop an entrepreneurial mindset at an early stage and equip them to counter the challenges of building a new venture. In the coming days the Institute is releasing a compendium of various entrepreneurship and self-employment related schemes. This will be a great help for the youth of the UT and will enable them to make informed career choices.

He directed all the District Nodal Officers of the Institute to provide free counselling in their office and display telephone numbers so that people can reach out and start a profitable venture.
