Project Brief Description: | Unemployment has been a pressing problem in Hill districts of Jammu and Kashmir including Rajouri and it has only aggravated the political turmoil in the state. Every year the number of educated youth in J&K state witnesses an increase and with them swells the problem of unemployment. These educated but unemployed youth stay jobless because the government jobs are very few and the private sector is almost non-existent in the region. In such a grim scenario, beekeeping can be a vibrant source of employment in J&K particularly among the tribal men and women. Bee keeping, it has remained a tradition in rural areas and forest area population and learnt by people from generation to generation. It neither requires high technology nor capital investment or comprehensive infrastructure. Therefore, Bee keeping can become a key to revolutionize horticulture sector in the state and particularly districts Rajouri and Poonch in the Pirpanchal Himalayan. It has immense potential to provide employment avenues in the region confronted with huge challenge of unemployment of youth. Attention needs to be given and awareness needs to be created about this environment friendly economic activity with so tremendous potential. The activity needs to be integrated with the initiative of State Govt. to double the horticulture production within a decade. It can be also linked to implementation of the pronounced goal of union Govt. to double the income of farmers by 2022. The project work shall highlight all these aspects to help flag potential of this promising sector. In addition to the direct avenues adequate bee activity would help in improving crop yields by nearly 100 per cent. | ||||
Beneficiaries/ Stakeholders: | � People from tribal areas � Educated unemployed youth � Tribal women can get skill training programmes in keeping honeybee colonies for starting an independently source of income. � Also the overall infrastructure of university shall get boost by developing modern laboratory facilities for research and training programmes on scientific beekeeping. |
