Srinagar : Chief Executive Officer Mission Youth J&K and Secretary of Tribal Affairs, Dr Shahid Iqbal Choudhary on Thursday said that the Prime Minister’s Award for Excellence in Public Administration is a “recognition” but young people’s faith in the Mission Youth programme is more “significant”.
Speaking to the media persons on the sidelines of an event here, Dr Choudhary, said, “There was a feedback session with the students regarding the programme which also included their suggestions from them. There is tremendous enthusiasm among the students.”
He said that the Mission Youth programme was aimed at creating constructive engagement for the youth in every sector and was not confined to a particular segment only. “We are not restricted to any particular sector, from education, skill development, entrepreneurship, drug de-addiction, women empowerment we cover a lot of segments,” the CEO of Mission Youth J&K said, adding, “The journey over the past two years have been enriching as more and more people are connecting with us.”

He highlighted that they still have to work on the dissemination of information in many areas with regard to the balancing of schemes, with applicants.
“It is just the beginning, and we have to push for more efforts for the enormous talent with us, for which more opportunities have to be made available,” he added.
