They stopped waiting for jobs and started creating them
Banihal, Jun 24: In an inspiring example of determination and self-reliance, many educated unemployed youth in Banihal are increasingly turning towards self-employment ventures and creating livelihood opportunities not only for themselves but also for others. Their efforts reflect a positive change in mindset and a growing spirit of entrepreneurship among the younger generation. About two kilometres from Banihal town at Halimaidaan Dooligam, a group of young entrepreneurs has established Banihal Poultry Farm, transforming their dreams into reality through hard work and dedication. Instead of waiting for government jobs, these educated youths chose to carve their own path by venturing into poultry farming, setting an example for others in the region. Established under the Central Government's Mission YUVA scheme, the farm houses dozens of varieties and breeds of poultry birds, including both indigenous and exotic species. The organic poultry farm currently rears more than 1,500 birds, which are fed natural and traditional feed and are allowed to graze freely in green surroundings, ensuring healthy and chemical-free production. Speaking to Greater Kashmir, Mohammad Danish Sohil said, Like many educated youths, we also faced uncertainty after completing our studies. Instead of remaining dependent on government jobs, we decided to start something of our own. Today, this poultry farm has become a source of livelihood and confidence for us. We want young people to understand that success comes through patience, hard work and a willingness to take risks. He added, The support available under government schemes such as Mission YUVA can help youth turn their ideas into reality. We encourage unemployed youngsters to explore opportunities in poultry farming, dairy farming, agriculture and horticulture. Ruhaan Khalid Ganie, another promoter of Banihal Poultries, said, When we started this venture, there were many challenges, but we never gave up. Every challenge became a lesson, and every small achievement motivated us to work harder. Today, seeing the farm grow and provide employment opportunities gives us immense satisfaction. Ruhaan Khalid said that the farm houses a wide range of poultry breeds, including Black Australorp, RIR (Rhode Island Red), Silkie, Turkey, Egyptian, Vanaraja, Sonali, Galvi, Rainbow Rooster, Local Desi, Aseel and Kadaknath, besides several other indigenous and exotic varieties. He said the presence of diverse breeds not only enhances the farms productivity but also provides valuable learning opportunities for aspiring poultry entrepreneurs interested in commercial and organic poultry farming. He further said, Our message to the youth is not to wait endlessly for jobs. There is tremendous potential in farming and allied sectors. With determination, proper planning and hard work, young people can become job creators and contribute to the economic development of their communities. Dr Amir Sohail Khan of the Animal Husbandry Department Banihal said that the government has introduced several schemes aimed at helping unemployed youth establish self-employment ventures and generate jobs for others. There are a number of government-sponsored schemes available under the poultry and dairy sectors for interested youth. If young people are willing to work hard and take advantage of these opportunities, they can build successful enterprises and become financially independent, he said. Dr Khan said that around six dairy farms are currently being run in Banihal by educated youth, most of whom are graduates under the age of 30. Each of these units is producing more than 100 litres of milk daily, demonstrating the immense potential of the dairy sector in the region, he added. Describing Banihal Poultry Farm at Halimaidan, Dooligam, as one of the finest poultry units in the area, Dr Khan praised the young entrepreneurs for successfully managing the venture. This farm is a shining example of what educated youth can achieve through dedication and innovation. I urge more young people to come forward and avail themselves of the benefits offered under government initiatives, including the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP), poultry farming and other allied sectors, he said.

The Great Disconnect: Degrees, Jobs and Higher Education in J&K
The crisis of higher education in Jammu and Kashmir is not a crisis of resources. It is a crisis of vision DR. SM MURTUZA BUKHARI Few regions in India can claim the scale of public investment that has gone into higher education. We have sprawling university campuses, hundreds of acres of prime land, impressive administrative structures, qualified faculty, substantial public funding, and thousands of educated minds occupying positions of academic leadership. Yet despite these advantages, one uncomfortable question continues to haunt the sector: Why are our graduates struggling to find jobs while employers struggle to find skilled graduates? The answer lies in a disconnect that has become impossible to ignorethe disconnect between degrees and the marketplace. Take any major institution in the Union Territory. The campuses are impressive, the infrastructure is substantial, and the academic credentials are unquestionable. Yet the true measure of an educational institution is not the size of its campus or the height of its buildings. The true measure is the success of its students after graduation. A university can possess magnificent infrastructure, but if its graduates remain disconnected from employment opportunities, entrepreneurship, and emerging industries, something fundamental is broken. The modern economy is evolving at an extraordinary speed. Artificial intelligence, data analytics, renewable energy, tourism management, logistics, healthcare technology, digital services, and entrepreneurship are reshaping labour markets. Employers increasingly seek adaptability, practical skills, and problem-solving abilities rather than degrees alone. Unfortunately, many institutions continue to produce graduates for an economy that no longer exists. Curricula move slowly. Industry participation remains limited. Internship opportunities are inadequate. Placement ecosystems remain weak. Academic departments often function in isolation from market realities. The result is predictable: students obtain degrees but not direction. What makes this challenge particularly frustrating is that it cannot be attributed to a shortage of intellectual capital. Jammu and Kashmir has scholars, researchers, administrators, policymakers, and educational leaders in abundance. Committees are formed, meetings are held, and reports are written. Yet meaningful transformation remains elusive. The challenge is not the absence of ideas. It is the absence of execution. The recent opening of the higher education sector to private universities presents an opportunity to change course. If implemented wisely, the new policy framework can give higher education in Jammu and Kashmir the wings it desperately needs. Private colleges and universities should not be trapped in the same maze of procedural controls that have constrained innovation for years. Institutions should be empowered to design industry-relevant programmes, collaborate directly with employers, launch skill-oriented courses, and create local employment ecosystems. Regulation must ensure quality and transparency, but it should not become a barrier to growth. Universities and regulatory agencies must evolve from inspectors into mentors and facilitators. At the same time, the transformation of higher education cannot be left to private institutions alone. Government Degree Colleges remain the backbone of the educational system and must become central to any reform agenda. The first step is to replace compliance-driven evaluation with outcome-driven assessment. Colleges should not primarily be judged by the number of files maintained, forms submitted, or inspections conducted. They should be evaluated on graduate employability, industry partnerships, innovation, entrepreneurship, research output, student progression, and community impact. Second, the culture of fault-finding must give way to a culture of collaboration. Too often, educational oversight revolves around identifying deficiencies on paper rather than helping institutions solve problems. Universities and regulators should act as partners in institutional development rather than merely custodians of compliance. Third, administrative processes must become simpler and faster. Institutions should have the flexibility to introduce market-responsive programmes, establish industry collaborations, and respond to emerging economic opportunities without years of procedural delays. There is an important lesson to be learned from educational hubs such as Bengaluru and Pune. Many successful colleges in these cities operate from relatively modest urban campuses where land availability is limited, and infrastructure may not always conform to the idealised vision found in regulatory manuals. Yet these institutions consistently attract students, maintain strong industry partnerships, and produce employable graduates. Their success is not built on land banks or architectural grandeur. It is built on outcomes. Students and parents rarely choose institutions because of the size of a playground or the dimensions of a building. They choose institutions because they offer quality education, industry exposure, internships, placements, and career opportunities. This is where Jammu and Kashmir must undertake honest introspection. For too long, higher education has often been measured through visible symbolsnew buildings, larger campuses, administrative expansion, and regulatory compliance. While these elements have value, they are not ends in themselves. Higher education is not a construction project. It is a human development project. The real purpose of a college is not to maintain files. It is to transform lives. Jammu and Kashmir does not need more regulations. It does not need more committees. It does not need a larger compliance machinery. It needs a new philosophy of higher educationone that rewards innovation, values employability, encourages autonomy, promotes collaboration, and measures success through student outcomes. Our institutions already possess the land. They already possess the buildings. They already possess the budgets. They already possess the brains. What they need now is a vision that connects education with opportunity. If we can shift our focus from paperwork to performance, from control to collaboration, and from infrastructure to outcomes, Jammu and Kashmir can transform its colleges and universities into engines of innovation, employment, and economic growth. The future of higher education will not be determined by the walls we build. It will be determined by the wings we give our students.
