Chief Minister Omar Abdullah launched Mission YUVA in India===Jammu and Kashmir, an initiative aimed at promoting self-employment and entrepreneurship to tackle the region's significant unemployment challenge. The scheme, implemented in 'mission mode,' has already disbursed ₹1,000 crore in cumulative credit through Jammu & Kashmir Bank. During the Yuva Mahotsav, Omar Abdullah oversaw a single-day mega disbursal of over ₹100 crore to 3,003 beneficiaries, launched a Credit Guarantee Fund for agri-allied activities, and digitally inaugurated 20 Small Business Development Units. The Chief Minister emphasized the government's commitment to supporting entrepreneurs beyond financial aid, including marketing and expansion, and urged youth to become job providers rather than job seekers. The initiative has garnered cross-party support, with leaders from the India===Bharatiya Janata Party, India===Indian National Congress, and India===Jammu & Kashmir National Conference attending the event, highlighting its non-political focus on economic development.
