The Union ministry of Rural Development in Srinagar launched the programme called Himayat on 21 August 2011 for giving training and placement to over one lakh youth from poor families in Jammu and Kashmir. The Programme Himayat will be implemented in five years.
The Union Cabinet has already approved 235 crore rupees for this programme. The central government will spend Rs.235 crore annually. The priority will be given to youth who are school and college dropouts and training will be provided at each of the block headquarters. The rural development ministry’s National Rural Livelihood Mission will fund the project.
