Jammu and Kashmir has one of the highest unemployment ratios in India. To overcome joblessness, the government initiated job fairs and invited a lot of companies to hire the unemployed. In 23 fairs, 9743 unemployed youth offered their services to 205 participating companies but only 623 got jobs, reports Fahd Khan

Amid an all-time high unemployment rate and joblessness, Jammu and Kashmir government’s much-hyped job fairs have provided jobs to around six per cent of the participants in 2022 in Kashmir. Lack of technical and communication skills was termed to be the key deficits preventing them from getting hired.
The observation of skill deficit raises doubts about the working of the skilling system, which is apparently a top governance priority.
Background
The Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) had highlighted the skyrocketing of the unemployment crisis in the past few years. Till mid-January 2023, it stood at 14.8 per cent, which is the sixth highest in the country. Though the survey outcomes had its own factors including Covid19, it generated a lot of debate over the state of joblessness.
Jammu and Kashmir’s Department of District Employment and Counselling Centres in collaboration with some non-governmental organizations hosted a number of job fairs across Kashmir’s 10 districts. It brought potential human resources face-to-face with potential employers from the private sector.
Officials who arranged these events revealed a total of 9743 unemployed youth participated in 23 job fairs that were organized across 10 Kashmir districts in 2022. Of them, only 623 were provided with on-spot placements. Officials said a total of 205 local and national companies participated in these recruitment rallies.
Srinagar hosted two major events and 2900 youth participated along with 67 local and national companies. Eventually, 25 candidates got on-spot placements, officials said.
In the Pulwama district, one job fair was held that attracted the participation of 213 candidates. At the end of it, nobody got a job order.
In Budgam, two fairs were organised in which 381 youth participated, of whom only 20 got placements. A total of 13 local and national companies participated in the event.
In Ganderbal, only one event was organised in which nine youths out of 900 got on-spot placements. Eleven companies participated in the event.
Anantnag hosted two fairs in which 28 youths got placed among 1211 who participated.
In the adjoining Kulgam district, nine job fairs – the highest among all the districts – were conducted in only 474 got placements among the 3117 youth who had participated. A total of 31 local and national companies participated in the event.
In the Shopian district, two job fairs got 13 people recruited among the 450 youth who had participated.
In Baramulla and Bandipore districts, two job fairs each were organised in which 52 youth from the former district got placed out of 325 total participants while just two received placements in the latter district out of a total of 246 participants.
No job fairs, however, was organised in Kupwara.
As many as 211 youths were recommended for skilling and as many as 3928 on-spot registrations were made on the state employment portal.
Rozgar Mela’s
Apart from these Job Fairs that the Department of District Development and Counselling organised, many similar Job Fairs were organized by non-governmental organizations in view of the surge in the unemployment rate.
In one of such event that the Goodwill Non-governmental organization hosted at Indore Stadium Srinagar, more than 20 MNC’s including local companies participated.
Thousands of youths across Kashmir had thronged the venue to get themselves enrolled in the mega recruitment drives that were being organized both by the government and the NGOs. Some of the companies that participated in the event included SBI Life, HDFC, Jio Care, Tata Motors, Peaks Auto, Kashmir Motors, Himalayan Motors, Shuhul Motors, Ashoka Leyland, LIC, Wishfin, KY Motors, Exide NEO and Fair Deal Motors. Many people even got recruited by US-based companies and are working from home right now.
Problems
Government claims notwithstanding, all these job-linked events provided jobs to only six per cent of the total participants. Many youths who had participated in these fairs alleged that despite aspirants possessing higher qualifications and skills, they were not recruited as the companies didn’t have enough vacancies. As per the participating youth, the low salary was also one of the reasons for them not taking up jobs for which they had to move out of Jammu and Kashmir.
Skill proved to be a major setback for the participating youth not getting jobs in the mega recruitment drives. Many youths claimed that despite coming from far-flung areas with the hope of getting jobs, they were offered loans by participating insurance and banking companies.
In a video on social media, a girl who had participated in an event is heard saying: “With a master’s degree and four diplomas, I had very little hope of getting a job in this event. What more qualifications should I possess to get a job? Even we can’t start our own business as banks provide loans against property only or they charge huge interest rates. Even some companies seek experience for jobs. How come an unemployed youth is experienced when he is never provided with a job? Even we don’t have such an exposure here in Kashmir, where we are trained at the grassroots level to start our own businesses”.
“Many of the jobs being provided in these events are routine basic jobs, “one insider said, talking in anonymity. “Jobs being offered are an insurance agent or marketing persons which one can easily get without participating in these events. There were many schemes like this earlier as well.”
The average salaries fixed during the job fairs were Rs 10000. Whether those who got jobs are satisfied and continuing it is the question to be asked.
Officials Speak
“Most of the companies recruit candidates based on their skills only but the majority of the people who had participated couldn’t meet the required criteria set by these companies,” a senior official in the Directorate of Employment said: “To keep up the pace in today’s world and to get hired by companies, one should possess both communication and technical skills which our youth mostly lack.”
The officer said they were shocked to see that in one of the recruitment drives at the University of Kashmir, only one could make it up to the interview. “The reason being the communication barrier,” an official at the District Employment and Counselling Centre said.
“We mostly deal with the sale and services of automobiles, most of the students were either overqualified or under-qualified for the Jobs we were providing,” one of the recruiting executives in a local automobile concern, who participated in these fairs, said. “For sales, we particularly needed people having good communication skills and those having experience in the service sector. We too aren’t a big company and have already been under a financial crunch since Covid19 and another crisis. Still, we hired around four to five students and they are currently working in our company under probation. Skill was the main reason that we couldn’t provide jobs to the people”.
Developments
It is pertinent to mention that the government has included numerous skill-based courses like IT, management, and tourism at the college level in the past few years, which seems to have a questionable outcome. The government is also imparting job-oriented skill-based courses through polytechnics, hotel management institutes and NIELIT.
“To impart skills to our youth many candidates who had participated in these job fairs were registered for the skill courses being organised by the Tata Consultancy Services (TCS),” an officer at the Directorate of Employment said.
There are many government schemes aimed at up-skilling youth. Himayat was a major flagship scheme under this category under which the youth were trained and later deployed in the market. NIELIT also provided many IT-related courses.
Another scheme was launched by the government in Public Private Partnership mode. It was aimed at improving the quality of the vocational training in the Country and making it demand-driven, so as to ensure better employability of the pass-outs. It covered 32 ITIs in Jammu and Kashmir. Other courses that were launched for the general public also included Sewing, Henna Art, cookery etc.
It seems as if the candidates are yet to be adequately trained or are lacking the actual skill that the employers require.

Personal Loans are used for many things, including a medical bill, debt consolidation, purchase of a new appliance, vacation, education and more. After borrowing a personal loan, you need to repay the money in EMIs, including the applied interest. Most Personal Loan schemes are unsecured, meaning they do not require any collateral, guarantor, or security for backup.
As far as applying for a Personal Loan online is concerned, aspiring borrowers have two options: the financial institution’s website or mobile app.
You can generally apply for a loan by providing basic personal and income details. The lenders will consider – age, income, employment, credit score, and outstanding debts to assess your eligibility and interest rate. This article will teach you a few crucial steps to get Personal Loan quick approval.
Calculate Personal Loan Eligibility
Qualifying for a Personal Loan involves several steps – and the first one is to ensure that it’s the right loan plan for you. For instance, if you want to borrow money to renovate your house, the loan should be enough to cover the renovation cost.
Although moneylenders determine the loan amount based on – income, credit history, and repayment capacity, be sure to compare loan schemes and get the best offer.
You can calculate Personal Loan eligibility using an eligibility calculator and apply for an appropriate loan plan.
Things to Consider Before Personal Loan Application
Before shopping around for the best Personal Loan offers, here are a few essential things to consider:
Eligibility: Various loan companies like Fullerton India have different eligibility conditions that you need to fulfill to qualify. These include – age, income, employment and credit rating. Check the particular NBFC’s eligibility criteria and ensure fulfilling them before applying to get Personal Loan quick approval.
DocumentationRequirements: Eligible applicants must provide a few necessary documents to support their details. These include – address, income, and identity proof. Check the required documents’ availability before applying to accelerate the loan process.
Interest Rate: The interest rate is a crucial parameter that significantly affects your EMI and total loan cost. The higher the interest rate, the costlier the loan will be. Aspiring borrowers with a good income and decent credit score have higher chances of getting the lowest interest rate on Personal Loans.
Repayment Capacity: Decide on a loan amount you can easily repay within the loan tenure. An individual’s repayment capacity depends on income and financial obligations. Use Fullerton India’s eligibility calculator to calculate Personal Loan eligibility and apply for an adequate loan amount.
Loan EMIs: Use a Personal Loan EMI calculator to calculate the monthly EMI amount for the loan. Ideally, the loan EMI should not consume more than 65% of the applicant’s monthly income. You can easily adjust it into your monthly budget without straining your finances.
Fulfill the Documentation Requirements
Each NBFC has different documentation requirements for Personal Loan applications. These often include the following:
Identity proof, like an Aadhaar card, voter ID, passport, and driving license
Address proof, like an Aadhaar card, voter ID, passport, driving license, rent agreement, ration card, and utility bill
Income proof, like bank statements, salary slips, ITR, Form 16, etc.
Decide on the Loan Amount
Remember that when an individual borrows money, they don’t just repay the principal amount. They also pay interest on the money they borrowed. Paying interest on loan amount that you do not use makes no sense.
However, if you get a lower loan amount than required, eventually, you would seek other expensive funding sources at the last minute. Therefore, the loan amount should be sufficient to cover the intended expense but not more than your repayment capacity.
Check the Credit Score
Personal Loan lenders rely heavily on the applicant’s creditworthiness. It is advised to check credit scores and obtain the latest credit reports before applying. As checking your credit score is a soft inquiry, it does not impact your credit score. If your score is between 750 and 900, the chances of getting quick approval at better interest rates are high.
Complete the Application Process
Visit the selected NBFCs website and fill out their online application form with personal and financial details. Scan and upload the necessary documents to complete the application process. Double-check the details before hitting the submit button and wait for the verification process to complete.
Once the loan company verifies all details and documents, they send a loan offer with the proposed loan amount, interest rate, and loan tenure. When you accept the loan offer, they disburse it directly into your bank account shortly after approval.
Those with excellent credit scores find Personal Loans a reasonably inexpensive way to cover their costs. A Personal Loan’s quick approval depends on the applicant’s creditworthiness, loan purpose, and repayment capacity. After approval and disbursal, borrowers must repay it in EMIs over a set term of up to 60 months.

Tips to Avoid Getting Scammed on Online Lotteries
Playing online lotteries can be a fun and exciting way to win some money, but it’s important to be aware of the risks associated with it. Scams are unfortunately common in the world of online lotteries, so it’s important to take steps to protect yourself from being taken advantage of. Here are three tips to help you avoid getting scammed on online lotteries:
Play only on websites that have been fully vetted and have a proper license to operate online. This ensures that the site is legitimate and not fraudulent. Also, before you play the lottery online, research and read honest reviews from other players. This will give you an idea of what other people’s experiences with the site have been, which will help you make an informed decision about whether to play there.
Avoid free lotteries in India that promise to give out money, and prefer promotions of free real tickets, discounts, and other offers. Free lotteries are often scams, and you should never give out your personal information or financial details to anyone offering them.
Be sure to read the terms and conditions of any website before signing up for an account. This will help you understand the rules and regulations of the site, as well as any fees that may be associated with playing online lotteries.
