thousands of jobless youth registered recently on few government

in recently advertised teachers posts in district Anantnag.
Out of 320 include 192 General teachers, 96 science/Math and 32 Urdu posts
thousands of unemployed youth registered for these teacher’s posts in

advertised 320 posts for district Anantnag, said Aamir Rasool a PG
student.
As per the government figures, there are 88 thousand educated youth in the
state without jobs. However, as per the figures, South Kashmir’s Anantnag
district has highest number of jobless youth in entire Kashmir Valley. Out
of 42219 unemployed youth, 6586 from Anantnag.
The JKSSB has recently advertised teachers post in valley however District
Anantnag got only 320 posts.
While talking to the Kashmir news bureau a telecom center said that I have
no idea about how many students applied for these teachers’ posts in my
center. We are busy from last two weeks only submitting of forms for
these posts; however girls applied for these posts more than boys. He
added.
Meanwhile Kashmir news Bureau received several calls from the
Rehbar-e-Khel aspirants who have obtained their degrees from the
University of Kashmir (KU) and have appealed to authorities to change the
pro-rata basis criteria to qualification basis.
The candidates said that in the recently announced Rehbar-e-Khel scheme,
the authorities have kept pro-rata basis as the mode of selection of the
candidates.
Under Pro-rata basis, 60 points have been kept for B.P.ED degree and 5
points for each higher degree. The candidates said that those who have
obtained B.P.ED and other higher degrees from outside the state have got a
higher percentage, while as the candidates who have obtained the said
degrees from Kashmir University have got less percentage.
It is an injustice to KU candidates as their chances of qualifying the
said post are less. “Then what is the fun of getting degrees from KU as
authorities have put the future of such candidates in dark,” said
aspirants.
They said that the government has also neglected the inclusion of points
in outstanding sports career like national and international.
The candidates demanded that selection should be made fair and transparent
by conducting screening test and appealed to Sports Minister Imran Raza
Ansari to look into the matter so that justice is done with the aspirants
of KU.
