The Nationalist Youth Congress (NYC) has demanded that the state government set up a state youth commission, a youth development corporation and provide economic support for young entrepreneurs among other facilities.
The demands were presented to chief minister Digambar Kamat through a memorandum by NYC state president Rajan Ghate in the presence of national president Rajeev Kumar Jha on Monday.
The youth commission, the NYC says, must be constituted with the power to formulate policies and welfare schemes for the overall development of youth across the state. 'The commission shall be empowered to safeguard the constitutional rights of youth especially the equality of opportunities,' the memorandum stated.
The NYC also said that a state youth development corporation can be formed with a corpus fund to finance the development activities for youth. 'The fund may be raised with government and private collaborations. Corporate sector will be encouraged to give voluntary contributions to this corporation,' the memorandum stated.
The NYC has demanded that the government should ensure at least one government job in a family irrespective of caste and creed. 'Government should forthwith abolish the contractual recruitment policy and offer regular employment to youth through the employment exchange office so that all vacancies are notified and recruited through the employment exchange,' states the memorandum.
The NYC has also demanded economic support for young entrepreneurs. 'To eradicate unemployment, adequate financial support in the form of soft loans may be provided to young entrepreneurs, based on their educational and technical qualifications,' the memorandum states.
