BJP demands rollback of outsourced jobs

Asks Govt to restore transparent recruitment process Srinagar, June 30: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday demanded the immediate cancellation of nearly 24,000 outsourced posts in Jammu and Kashmir, accusing the National Conference (NC) government of failing to deliver on its promise of employment to the youth. Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters in Srinagar, BJP spokespersons Manzoor Bhat and Danish Bhat alleged that instead of ensuring transparent and regular recruitment, the government has handed over thousands of vacancies to private outsourcing agencies, thereby denying deserving candidates fair opportunities in public service. The party claimed that young aspirants spend years preparing for competitive examinations with the hope of securing stable government jobs, and that the move towards large-scale outsourcing has undermined their aspirations. The BJP urged the NC government to withdraw the outsourcing process and initiate a transparent, merit-based recruitment system for the advertised posts, reiterating its demand for accountability in public hiring practices.

NC promised 1 lakh jobs but converted 25,000 into private ones: Sajad Lone on outsourcing

J&K Peoples Conference President and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone on Friday drew a sharp distinction between outsourcing and backdoor appointments, calling the NC government's conversion of public sector jobs into privately outsourced positions a far graver crime against the youth of Jammu and Kashmir, while simultaneously cautioning the PDP against muddying the waters for the sake of political point-scoring. Lone said he had anticipated that the outsourcing controversy would eventually descend into a blame game between the two parties, and warned that mislabeling the issue does a disservice to the thousands of young people affected by it. These are not backdoor appointments. These are outsourced appointments of government jobs, and that distinction matters enormously, he said, adding that when he raised the question in the Assembly, the government itself confirmed that 25,000 jobs had been outsourced. The Peoples Conference president argued that outsourcing of government jobs represents a far graver threat than backdoor appointments, describing it as the systematic privatisation of public employment. He said the practice introduces a fundamentally corrupt model in which outsourcing companies and the ruling class collude at the expense of ordinary job-seekers, rendering what should be secure government positions into precarious, temporary engagements that can be terminated at will. Every new government will bring a new outsourcing agency, he warned, and those employed under this system will pay the price. Lone drew particular attention to the outsourcing of jobs under Mission Vatsalya formerly known as the Integrated Child Protection Scheme (ICPS) a cause he said was deeply personal. He recalled that during his tenure as Social Welfare Minister, he had spearheaded the implementation of ICPS in Jammu and Kashmir, establishing for the first time a formal child protection regime in the region, complete with district-level child protection committees designed to shield children from sexual abuse, juvenile detention, and other threats. He said that following 2019, the Lieutenant Governor's administration had attempted to outsource appointments within ICPS and move to terminate existing contractual employees, a decision he had publicly opposed at the time. Employees had approached the courts and obtained a stay order, but the remaining recruitments were left pending. Lone expressed that he had hoped the return of an elected government would reverse this course, only to find that the current NC administration had proceeded to outsource the remaining ICPS posts. To my horror, this elected government has proven to be as malafide in its intentions toward these employees as the post-2019 regime was, he said, adding that government responses to his repeated Assembly questions on the matter were marked by arrogance. Turning to the NC's electoral promises, Lone reminded the party that it had pledged in its manifesto to create one lakh new government jobs. Instead of creating 100,000 government jobs, they have so far converted 25,000 government jobs into private jobs, he said, announcing that he would shortly release a detailed case study with dates establishing the NC government's culpability in what he termed the outsourcing crime. Addressing his colleagues in the PDP directly, Lone urged them not to allow the NC to escape accountability by conflating two distinct issues. Don't allow NC to walk away with murder by calling outsourcing backdoor appointments, he said, appealing to the party to engage with the substance of the issue rather than seek political brownie points. He offered to assist PDP leaders in understanding the nuances of the matter, while making clear that the real victims in this episode are the thousands of young people now employed at the mercy of private outsourcing firms with no security of tenure.

Outsourcing is systematic privatisation of jobs: Sajad Lone

Slams PDP over brownie points on outsourcing issue Srinagar, June 26: J&K Peoples Conference president and MLA Handwara Sajad Lone on Friday said that the outsourcing of government jobs poses a far greater threat to employment in Jammu and Kashmir than backdoor appointments, accusing the National Conference (NC) government of converting public sector posts into privately managed positions. Lone said the ongoing debate over employment practices was being distorted for political gains, cautioning that mischaracterising outsourcing as backdoor appointments undermines the seriousness of the issue affecting thousands of young job-seekers. These are not backdoor appointments. These are outsourced government jobs, and the distinction is extremely important, he said, adding that the government itself had confirmed in the Assembly that around 25,000 posts had been outsourced. He described outsourcing as a systematic privatisation of public employment, arguing that it creates a structure where private agencies and the ruling establishment benefit at the cost of job security for ordinary youth. He warned that such a system makes employment unstable, with future governments free to change outsourcing agencies, leaving workers vulnerable. Lone also referred to the outsourcing of posts under Mission Vatsalya (formerly ICPS), saying he had originally helped establish the child protection framework during his tenure as Social Welfare Minister, including district-level protection mechanisms. He said that after 2019, the then administration had attempted to outsource ICPS appointments and terminate contractual workers, a move he had opposed. While court intervention stayed parts of the decision, he said several recruitments remained unresolved. Expressing disappointment, Lone said he had expected the elected government to reverse these decisions, but instead it had proceeded with outsourcing remaining ICPS posts. He criticised the governments responses in the Assembly as arrogant and evasive. Referring to the NCs poll promises, Lone said the party had pledged to create one lakh government jobs but had instead converted thousands of government posts into outsourced positions. He said he would soon release a detailed case study on the issue. He also urged the PDP not to confuse outsourcing with backdoor appointments for political convenience, saying such misrepresentation allows the NC to escape accountability.

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.
