The problem of unemployment in the State especially that of the educated unemployed has reached alarming proportions and deserves immediate focused and coordinated attention with new policy initiatives, sound institutional arrangements and effective operational strategies for creating employment opportunities and enhancing employability.
1.2 A collective, comprehensive and holistic endeavour is required to address this gigantic problem in a principled manner. Hence, the Government announces this State Policy on Employment' to simultaneously and comprehensively address all issues relating to the problem of unemployment in the State.
1.3. The policy document is being launched on the 5th December, 2009, the 105th birthday of the great visionary of the State, the Sher-e-Kashmir, Jenab Sheikh Mohammed Abdullah Sahib and hence named as "The Sher-e-Kashmir Employment and Welfare Programme for the Youth" (SKEWPY).
2. Statistical Base:
2.1 The District Employment Exchanges maintained qualification wise data of job seekers, which (in respect of matriculates and above), as of 31.12.2008, was as under:

2.2 The above data, however, had mainly two limitations. Firstly, all the unemployed persons did not register themselves with the Employment Exchanges. Secondly, those registered might also not have been totally unemployed and been only in the process of seeking better jobs. Since process of placements by the Employment Exchanges had vanished altogether, over the course of time, there had been a marked decrease in the registration level at the Exchanges.
2.3 In order to adopt a well conceived strategy for alleviating the problem of unemployment in the state, there is a fervent requirement of a sound statistical base. This is more so for the reason that there is a lot of equivocation about the very extent and nature of unemployment.
2.4 For this purpose, it has become imperative to build a sound and dependable data base so that plausible remedial measures are explored and adopted to suit our needs and suitable policy interventions are devised from time to time to create/retrain the available human resources as per changing needs of the economy and job market.
3. District Employment & Counselling Centers:
3.1 For operationalizing the mechanism of data collection at the ground level, the Government decided to revamp the erstwhile Employment Exchanges and enhance their role, both quantitatively and qualitatively. They have been renamed as District Employment and Counselling Centres (DECCs). These District Centres shall develop a reliable statistical base in the formats of skill inventory and skill deficiency mapping.
3.2 The number of such District Employment & Counselling Centres has been increased from 14 to 22 so that all the districts have a well placed independent institutional arrangement for information generation on the subject. It shall be mandatory for all practical purposes- for all the unemployed educated youth to get themselves registered with the concerned District Employment and Counselling Centre
3.3 Necessary formats for registration shall be prepared by the Department of Economics and Statistics. The requisite software for on line digital format is being developed by the Government through the Labour & Employment Department.
3.4 The information collected by the DECCs shall be available on line to the Divisional & State offices in the Directorate of Employment and to the relevant offices in the Secretariat and shall be compiled in suitable formats from time to time.
3.5 While maintaining confidentiality of the personal data of registered unemployed youth, to the extent technically feasible or desirable, the compiled collective data and abstracted information for individual districts, administrative divisions and the State shall be periodically published/displayed on the website of the Department.
3.6 Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has decided to also set up Credit Counselling Centers to increase appetite and actual off-take of credit for self-employment ventures. The District Employment and Counselling Centers shall dovetail the efforts of such Credit Counselling Centers of RBI in a mutually rewarding manner.
3.7 The District Employment and Counselling Centers shall also have a dedicated cell for fore-casting the requirement of skilled manpower in the context of various developmental initiatives of the State Government and major projects to be taken up under the various Flagship Programmes of the Central Government. This will help in re-aligning the content of capacity building programmes, on a dynamic basis, to make skill transfer initiatives and efforts more and more market-relevant.
3.8 The initiative of the State Government has evoked good response from the unemployed youth. They have enthusiastically come forward to register themselves with the District Employment and Counselling Centres. From the previous number of registration (80,529 for all categories: matriculates and beyond), the number has increased to 4.47 lac.
