This initiative, aligned with the vision of “Yuva Sapne, Nayi Ummedein” (Youth Dreams, New Hopes), aims to empower unemployed and underemployed youth by transforming them into job creators through entrepreneurship.
The event commenced with a detailed PowerPoint presentation by the Counselor Career Officer (CCO) of the Employment Department, who explained the scheme’s objectives and benefits to the participants.

DC Minga Sherpa, in his keynote address, highlighted the significance of Mission Yuva in fostering an entrepreneurial culture among the youth of Baramulla. “This scheme focuses on identifying and supporting unemployed and underemployed individuals, offering them capacity-building programs, financial support, and training to ensure self-reliance. Our vision is to transform job seekers into job providers,” he remarked.
A baseline survey is set to begin soon, with trained enumerators collecting data to identify potential beneficiaries. The initiative also promises smooth financial assistance and capacity-building workshops to equip youth with the skills necessary to establish successful enterprises. A registration counter for Mission Yuva was set up at the venue, attracting 95 youths who registered for the initiative.
