Srinagar : (CNI) Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) Jammu and Kashmir organized a Yuvti Samelan at the Amar Singh Club in Srinagar. The event witnessed the enthusiastic participation of hundreds of young girls.

The event was focused to boost the moral of the young YUVATI Achievers by felicitating them with honour and respect.

The event was graced by Waqf Board Chairperson and Minister of the state Dr Darakashan Andrabi as Chief Guest, Special Guest Arpita Aparajita, National Vice President BJYM, along with Arun Prabhat State president BJYM, Bilal Parray National Executive BJYM and Amandeep Singh National Media Incharge BJYM.

Yuvti Sammelan also foster a sense of equality and confidence among the participants. Meeting peers who share their experiences helps young girls feel supported in their efforts to learn, grow and make a difference.

During the event, some of the accomplished Yuvti speakers candidly shared their own stories of struggling against hurdles while growing up as Kashmiri girls. They spoke about the lack of access and opportunities they faced earlier, as well as societal attitudes that discouraged female education and participation. Many poignant anecdotes were narrated of how girls were held back from pursing diverse interests, especially in realms like sports, business or leadership.

The speakers highlighted the biases and barriers that once prevented Kashmiri women and girls from actualizing their potential. Sharing their journey of persevering despite obstacles, the women aimed to inspire young girls in the audience to never give up on their dreams no matter what challenges come their way. The girls listened in rapt attention, motivated to achieve their goals despite any hurdles.

The program highlighted inspirational girls and women who have achieved great success while wearing veils, shattering stereotypes and making the community proud. Guests included Tajamul Islam, an international kickboxing medalist; Manasha Bashir, a national gold medalist in Taekwondo; Dr. Insha Bashir, a national medalist in basketball; Duha Mukhtar, a Khelo India champion and national gold medalist; and Bilkees Ara, who has donated blood 34 times so far. Muskan, a biker and published author, was also recognized for her accomplishments.

These exceptional yuvtis demonstrate that the veil does not hinder ambition or talent. Their dedication and perseverance in sports, education, medicine, writing, and social service have earned them a special place and recognition in society.

They serve as role models for young girls everywhere to dream big and never let obstacles like stereotypes stand in their way.

By organizing a pioneering event to uplift and motivate young women, BJYM Jammu Kashmir has provided the kind of positive encouragement essential for nurturing future leaders and change-makers.
