‘Nai Manzil’ Scheme Launched in Jammu and Kashmir
In India there is a saying that if there is heaven on earth then it is Kashmir. Kashmir is a tourist place majorly covered with snow. And hence it is the prime attraction for tourists all over from the world. The basic traditional trade in Kashmir is embroidery on clothes and tourism. There majority population of Kashmir is the minority community. Due to lack of proper fiscal support the girl students have to leave the education and get into the traditional business. Hence to overcome this situation the Ministry of Minority Affairs has launched a new scheme “Nai Manzil”.
They will be trained into various sectors for three months such as computers IT (software and hardware), Tourism/hospitality, saffron processing, food processing, embroidery, electronics and plumbing. After successful completion of the course the trainees will get Rs. 4500 as stipend. This scheme is already running successfully in Patna and Motihari in Bihar and Bhandup in Mumbai. Hence in near future we are going to encounter a skilled labour.
