Education and Skill Development

The backbone of every society is the carefully woven fabric of thought and knowledge that sustains the narrative of aspiration and potential of a community.

In Kashmir, the youth recognize and realize the increasing need to initiate peace processes through education. Only education and investment in state-of-the-art knowledge resources would ensure that future generations are well equipped to benefit from the sweeping and fast transforming career landscape of a globalised world. This section brings in the thoughts and visions of emergent voices which aim to build Kashmir’s knowledge economy as a power house and driver for sustainable change.
