The third guarantee will be a comprehensive job package for youth. Speaking on it, Omar Abdullah said, "We all know the unemployment condition in J&K. After August 5, 2019, there was talk of reducing unemployment but it only increased. There was fraud in the recruitment process and the youths did not get the job...We are making comprehensive promises to the youths and going to address the unemployment issue. “The party has promised to give free electricity upto 200 units. Omar said, "We will also address the issue of water and electricity and will give electricity free upto 200 units. Some will promise more but that's not beneficial because they are not going to be in power in the future.” He further added, "Regarding social welfare, we are making a special guarantee to the people. Under this, women belonging to the EWS (Economically Weaker Section) will be given Rs 5000 per month to support them. For the benefit of the common people, we will provide 12 gas cylinders after the elections to the EWS. The widow pensions will also be increased." The party has also promised to bring a comprehensive plan to solve the drug issue in the Union Territory.
