To become a developed State, Odisha should give emphasis on preparing new plans and successful programmes in a scientific way for its youth mass,” said Samruddha Odisha president Jatish Mohanty while addressing a Rajdhani Yuva Sathi Sammilani organised by the party here on Sunday.
Mohanty said the State should analyse different innovative programmes and plans of various States and countries to prepare a better plan with the help of successful people, experts and intellectuals for the youth keeping an eye on the infrastructure, environment and socioeconomic conditions of the State. Use of youth mass during election by political leaders and forgetting them hereafter leads to poverty in State, he added.
Other leaders attending the conference said the BJD Government has failed to keep its words to give employment to 49 lakh youths though the Government is going to complete its third consecutive terms by 2014. The Odia youths are working as unorganised labourers outside the State due to lack of employment opportunity here, they added.
The leaders also said the State’s Employment Mission is eyewash as the unemployment rate is on the rise. After completion of 13 years of its rule, the Government visualised to frame the Youth Policy.
At the conference, more than one hundred youths became members of the party. Party leaders Prabir Mohanty, Gorachand Barik, Nirakar Beura and Rajaram Mohapatra informed about the beginning of the party’s membership drive from Sunday.
