“History teaches us that people who changed the world did not rely on extraordinary circumstances but extraordinary thinking. Youth are not just the hope of tomorrow; they are the greatest power of today. Young people of J&K should dare to dream big for the UT of J&K and the nation. When dreams soar high, paths for developed society must be carved through hard work, patience and unwavering courage,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

“Only those who truly believe in their own potential, who trust in themselves go on to create history,” he further said.
The Lieutenant Governor observed that innovation and entrepreneurship are the key to society’s progress. He asked the Youth of UT to embrace fresh ideas to solve problems and create opportunities for self-employment as powerful drivers of economic empowerment.
