& KASHMIR AND LADAKH DURING ACADEMIC YEAR 2021-22
1. BACKGROUND
An Expert Group was constituted by the Prime Minister on 18th August, 2010 in
the context of enhancing employment opportunities among youths of Jammu &
Kashmir (now, UTs of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh) to formulate job plan
involving public and private sectors. Among the key recommendations of the
Expert Group, one was to offer 5000 fresh scholarships per annum to encourage
the youth of J & K to pursue higher studies outside the State of J&K.
The proposal arises out of the identified strategy of a human resource
development initiative focused on improving skill set through improving access
to education.
