SRINAGAR: The Divisional Commissioner Kashmir Baseer Ahmad Khan today directed concerned officers to involve maximum number of youth and women while creating new Self Help Groups (SHGs) as it is a pre-requisite for poverty reduction and women empowerment.

He stressed on need to make Self Help Groups (SHGs) economically more viable, sustainable so that they can create good employment opportunities.

The Divisional Commissioner made these directions while reviewing the performance and progress of J&K State Rural Livelihoods Mission in the Kashmir Division.

The meeting was informed that 21362 SHGs are functioning with 1.83 lakh members in 1949 Village Organizations (VOs) across the valley.

It was further informed that UMEED has been instrumental in providing jobs and has acted as a bridge between the Valley youth and financial institutions to get a sustainable livelihood. It was revealed that scores of youth were able to get dignified livelihoods by means of loans which their mothers/sisters receive through UMEED SHGs. This has not only resulted in the overall socio-economic upliftment of the poor families, but also ensured that the dropout vulnerable youth could find dignified options for running their lives.

Few examples quoted during the meeting regarding the livelihoods which youth have been able to acquire by virtue of UMEED intervention were commercial vehicles, Gym center, and petty shops, manufacturing units like cricket bat making, joinery units, tailoring and fashion designing units. The meeting was informed that to upscale the earnings of rural women, Automatic Milk Collection Centres have been established in collaboration with J&K Milk Producers Cooperative Limited.
