With economic liberalization and removal of the restriction on free trade and commerce among the countries all over the world the scope of job opportunities in various new sectors has brightened. It further got a big boom with the spread and expansion of electronic and communication devices which facilitated the plans for outsourcing by leading Corporate and multi National sectors to the regions where manpower could be utilized on comparatively cheaper wages. As a result a movement of skilled and technically qualified professionals took place to fill up new avenues of job opportunities created. Its cascading impact did not limit to professional skilled class only but it roped in many allied entrepreneurs to supplement their residual requirements, where unskilled or semi skilled manpower got accommodated. Involvement of manpower, use of electronic technological equipments and other connecting technical devices in the process of things simultaneously needed safety and security from negative elements from causing any disruption. It gave birth to the idea of evolving of such a system which could generate sense of security at the work place. So for meeting the immediate requirement for manpower for the security of MNC / corporate, most of the companies banked on retired /ex army / policemen / paramilitary organizations for taking charge of security in these companies. To be from army or police background was not only sufficient because newer IT brought in many technical hazards about which security system should have knowledge and awareness. Therefore, the security system is to be made professionally sound by imparting proper training in all aspects of securities including physical, material, technical, cyber security, plus manpower / crowd management in order to make them professional and skilled.
To set the scheme for giving skill among the youth in the country, Government of India forayed into skilled training courses under National Skill Development Corporation, Ministry of Skill Development, personally monitored by the PM. Already the number of educated unemployed youth had swelled in lakhs during the past uncertain period of turmoil in J&K state. Avenues of job opportunities are at decimal level as compared to the ratio of graduate produced from universities of the state. Government employments are few and far between where nepotism, favoritism plays its stealth role in dashing the hope of deserving ones. Time to time disturbance and uproar in J&K resulted into lack of industrial development, establishment of private sectors and business entrepreneurships which are the bulwark for job generation in the state. To overcome, the deficiencies in job generation Indian Government announced schemes for making jobs skilled by endorsing professionalism to their academic degrees / diplomas under the auspices of highly experienced corporate.
So within the purview of broad skilled occupation, security system has been declared as skill profession and the responsibility of training worthy aspirants and unemployed youth particularly from Jammu and Kashmir is taken by NISA (New Industrial Security Agency) a Mumbai based top private security company, run and administered by highly qualified, experienced and IT savvy personnel at its disposal.

The team did touch Srinagar but could not work out any substantial because of disturbing trends on the ground with the result, the team had to withdraw blank from the valley. In spite, troubling circumstances, serious efforts were made to reach some social activists in the Valley who could help in galvanizing some youth groups from any part of the valley. Though, some gave them rosy pictures by their pleasantries but there was much difference in their saying and doing. Reaching to a large section of youth across the state, the team in Jammu organized press conference for both electronic and print media to highlight the NSDC UDAAN project baptized in a new form with the gloss of NISA, programme implementing body which had established modern IT equipped , electronic gadget stuffed , fire fighting equipments and physical fitness items in NISA training Academy , Delhi.
