Jammu, Jan 18: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inspired Jammu and Kashmir’s youth to dream boldly, chase ambitions fearlessly, and shape a brighter future for the Union Territory and nation during the 7th Annual Day of the Guidance & Career Counselling Cell for Youth Development (GCC) at Gurha Slathia, Samba.
“Your future is waiting for you. Take a pledge to build brighter J&K and work with dedication. History remembers those who dared to challenge limits, conquered fear, and turned the impossible into reality,” Sinha declared to an enthusiastic crowd of young attendees.
Sinha positioned youth as “architects of social change,” driving the “Viksit Bharat” vision. “History teaches us that world-changers relied on extraordinary thinking, not circumstances. J&K’s young are not tomorrow’s hope—they’re today’s power.”
He urged embracing innovation and entrepreneurship for self-employment and economic growth: “Small daily steps toward dreams lead to transformation. Only those who believe in their potential create history.”
Reaffirming commitments, Sinha announced Rs 1,437 crore from Government of India for rebuilding flood-damaged infrastructure and mitigation in J&K. Key timelines:
Responding to MLA Samba Surjit Singh Slathia, Sinha promised to push railway over-bridge construction and youth-led pond development with community support.
Sinha thanked Radha Soami Satsang Beas, High-range Rural Development Society-HRDS India, and GCC for youth empowerment efforts. He reviewed ongoing auditorium and upgrades at Government Higher Secondary School, Gurha Slathia, directing sanitation and sports facility installations.
