JK Unemployment rate crosses 14% : Highly - skilled youth sent packing as companies refuse to reinstate jobs

Srinagar, Mar 22 , 2021 : 

It has been four months since 33- year-old Shabir Ahmad’s office in New Delhi has resumed offline operations. 

One of the finest techies who headed 14 member-team at internet solution company before lockdown, he has not been called to join the office.

Having been jobless for almost a year, Ahmad is mentally stressed out since his attempts to find a suitable job have failed. “I have sent my CV to almost every company in New Delhi, but the response is very poor,” he said.

 
Ahmad is not an isolated case. Scores of youth, who were laid off during the lockdown, are struggling to find jobs. 

“ Hundreds of youth were working in different companies across the country before lockdown. 

But they have not been called back to duties even after companies resumed operations,” he said.

Bilal Ahmad, who worked at a prominent five-star hotel in Bangalore, too has a similar story to share. 

Being asked to return home in June last year in view of Covid-19, he too has been laid -off after waiting for a year.

“ Many trained chefs and bellboys, who were last year asked to return home due to lockdown, have not been recalled. 

The hotel has resumed operations, but we have not been reinstated,” he said.

yment rate is calculated by CMIE using Consumer Pyramids Household Survey machinery.
