Setup IT training centers in each Panchayat of border areas: Dr Shazad

 Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Border Area Development Conference   (JK-BADC) a registered organization working for the welfare of J & K has demanded setting up of computer and Information Technology training centers in each Panchayat of Border areas of Jammu and Kashmir to familiarize the youth of border areas with the computer and IT and to make them skillful and employable.

 BADC asked the Jammu and Kashmir government to establish as many computer and IT training centers in rural & border areas of J & K as possible, as this would ultimately help the youth of J & K to learn skills and becoming self employable as presently the government is unable to provide jobs to the youth and there is almost negligible private sector in far flung areas of J & K.

 Expressing disappointment, Dr Shazad Ahmed Malik, Chairman of the BADC and former Vice Chancellor said it is sad and unfortunate  that in comparison to the glorious experience and success story  of rest of India in Information Technology Sector,  Jammu and Kashmir and especially the people of  border areas of J & K   could not become part of this IT success saga of India. He said Information Technology is Future of the world and we must make our youth and coming generations familiar with it to compete the world.

 Making humble submission to the Union home minister Amit Shah and Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to establish village level computer centers in border areas of J & K, the former VC also assured that his organization (JKBADC) would provide all possible help to the government in this mission as and when asked.
