New Delhi:
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has reviewed the progress of plans
to increase jobs in Jammu and Kashmir and asked an expert panel to
ensure that employment opportunities were sustainable.
A press release issued Sunday said that the prime minister met the
expert group, chaired by former Reserve Bank of India governor C.
Rangarajan, Saturday evening and was apprised about the progress
of the plans.
'The prime minister desired that the group take into account all
relevant aspects, like skill enhancement, education and
appropriate involvement of civil society and industry, so that
employment opportunities generated are sustainable,' said the
press release.
The expert group has drawn up a number of short and long-term
measures for enhancing employment opportunities and improving
employability prospects in the state.
Manmohan Singh asked the expert group to also give regard to
'equity considerations, in terms of various regions of the state,
sectors of the economy, levels of skill, and gender'.
The expert group, announced by the prime minister in August,
assured Manmohan Singh that these aspects would be taken into
account and that its report will be ready within three months,
added the press release.
On Aug 10, the prime minister had proposed a panel of experts to
formulate a job plan for the troubled state that has some 300,000
unemployed youth.

Due to the threats of riot and
terror attacks, the festive season in India
nowadays results in sleepless nights for the security
personnel.
Against this backdrop, the show of communal harmony in Malegaon by Ajantha Mandal cannot be more timely. The Mandal
in a large hoarding portrays the real picture of the Muslim
dominated textile town in North Maharashtra. It shows,
Malegaon is where Azan in a Masjid and Shunkh
in a Mandir go simultaneously. To further make its point,
the Mandal plays communal harmony songs on a cassette-player
in its full sound.
