Srinagar, March 12, 2025 – Mehraj Ahmad, a resident of Budgam, has publicly thanked the Jammu and Kashmir government, led by Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, for its allocation of funds under the ambitious “Mission Yuva” initiative as part of the #JKBudget2025. The initiative, aimed at fostering self-employment, is set to create approximately 4.25 lakh opportunities over the next five years, offering a significant boost to the region’s youth and economy.
Ahmad’s appreciation, shared widely on social media, highlights the optimism surrounding the government’s focus on empowering young people through sustainable employment avenues. “This is a game-changer for the youth of Jammu and Kashmir,” Ahmad reportedly stated, reflecting a sentiment echoed by many in the region who see Mission Yuva as a step toward economic revitalization.
The #JKBudget2025, recently unveiled, has placed a strong emphasis on youth development, with Mission Yuva being a flagship program designed to provide training, resources, and financial support to aspiring entrepreneurs. The Omar Abdullah administration has positioned this initiative as a cornerstone of its economic agenda, aiming to address unemployment and harness the potential of J&K’s young population.
While official details of the budget allocation and implementation plan are still being rolled out, the announcement has already garnered attention across social and traditional media. The government has yet to release a comprehensive statement in response to Ahmad’s remarks, but the positive feedback from residents like him underscores the initiative’s potential impact.
This development comes as the Omar Abdullah government continues to navigate its early months in office, balancing economic priorities with the region’s complex socio-political landscape. Further updates on Mission Yuva and its rollout are expected in the coming weeks as the administration works to translate budgetary promises into actionable outcomes.
