ANANTNAG: As the Anantnag district comes number one  in terms of the highest number of jobless youth in valley on the other hand thousands of jobless youth registered recently on few government advertised teacher posts in District Anantnag.

Sources told to Kashmir news bureau that the telecom centers in District Anantnag were seen crowded by jobless youth who are registering themselves in recently advertised teachers posts in district Anantnag.

Out of 320 include 192 General teachers, 96 science/Math and 32 Urdu posts thousands of unemployed youth registered for these teacher’s posts in Anantnag district .The government is playing with our degrees as they only advertised 320 posts for district Anantnag, said Aamir Rasool a PG student.

As per the government figures, there are 88 thousand educated youth in the state without jobs. However, as per the figures, South Kashmir’s Anantnag district has highest number of jobless youth in entire Kashmir Valley. Out of 42219 unemployed youth, 6586 from Anantnag.

The JKSSB has recently advertised teachers post in valley however District Anantnag got only 320 posts.

While talking to the Kashmir news bureau a telecom center said that I have no idea about how many students applied for these teachers’ posts in my center. We are busy from last two weeks only submitting of forms for  these posts; however girls applied for these posts more than boys. He added.

Meanwhile Kashmir news Bureau received several calls  from the Rehbar-e-Khel aspirants who have obtained their degrees from the University of Kashmir (KU) and have appealed to authorities to change the pro-rata basis criteria to qualification basis.

The candidates said that in the recently announced Rehbar-e-Khel scheme, the authorities have kept pro-rata basis as the mode of selection of the candidates.

Under Pro-rata basis, 60 points have been kept for B.P.ED degree and 5 points for each higher degree. The candidates said that those who have obtained B.P.ED and other higher degrees from outside the state have got a higher percentage, while as the candidates who have obtained the said degrees from Kashmir University have got less percentage.

 It is an injustice to KU candidates as their chances of qualifying the said post are less. “Then what is the fun of getting degrees from KU as authorities have put the future of such candidates in dark,” said aspirants.

They said that the government has also neglected the inclusion of points in outstanding sports career like national and international.

The candidates demanded that selection should be made fair and transparent by conducting screening test and appealed to Sports Minister Imran Raza Ansari to look into the matter so that justice is done with the aspirants of KU. (KNB)
