Srinagar: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is mulling to introduce youth outreach program Kashmir Ki Baat Nawjawoon Kay Sath aiming to bridge the gap between youth and party functionaries in the valley.
As per the reports, senior BJP leaders from Kashmir including J&K BJP General Secretary (Organisation), Ashok Koul conducted a meeting at head office Raj Bagh, where it was decided that the party would reach out to youths across Kashmir through different programs.
A senior BJP leader said that political parties alienated the youth of Kashmir for the past seven decades while ignoring their voices on every platform. Following which the party has now decided to hold a youth outreach program.
He added that under the program the party will hold seminars and workshops in all district of Kashmir valleys, where senior leaders and party workers will participate to reach out to the youth. While during the program the youth will be made fully aware of the various schemes which are provided by both the central and Jammu and Kashmir government.
Media Incharge BJP Kashmir Manzoor Bhat told TNN that under this initiative we are going to organize different kinds of programs to reach out to youth so that they are made aware of the different sources of income as well.
Bhat said the youth in Kashmir have enough potential to excel and seek benefit from these programmes aimed at all-round development. “There are a lot of issues being faced by the youth including unemployment, lack of skill-based education. These seminars and workshops will help in nourishing their skills in the right direction”, he said.
Bhat said following the preparations of the program, series of meetings were held under J&K General Secretary, Ashok Koul and other party functionaries. “We held a meeting at the party head office in Srinagar with the district presidents and general secretaries of Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) Kashmir to discuss the upcoming program and organizational structure,” he said. “The party has also discussed the drive for the youth of Kashmir which is going to be held soon in Kashmir”, he added.
