Youth key to UT s progress, says L G at Navreh event in Jammu

Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday said Jammu and Kashmir holds the potential for a dynamic and flourishing future, evolving into a vibrant centre of culture and progressing into a prosperous Union Territory through steady development. He was speaking at the Navreh celebrations organised by the Kashmiri Pandit Sabha at Amphalla here.

“Achieving this vision ultimately depends on the younger generation. I sincerely hope that our youth will draw strength from the wisdom passed down by our ancestors and work with determination to elevate Jammu Kashmir to a place among the country’s developed regions,” the Lieutenant Governor said.

Interacting with devotees, he wished that the new year would usher in a radiant dawn for all, illuminating pathways to renewed hope and a thriving future.

“Worship of Maa Durga and Maa Sharika is a profound bow to the primal source of power from which universe spring. As Rigveda says, the mother’s strength is infinite. The true seeker who worships her with sincerity attains the essence of reality, from which all life’s insights flow effortlessly. I personally hold that Navreh and Navratri mark an inner journey. Over nine days of fasting, prayer and discipline, Navratri transforms the devotee from within,” he said.

The L-G encouraged the youth to build a strong and lasting connection with timeless traditions, rich spiritual heritage and wisdom, which he described as among the region’s greatest treasures.

“Youth will not merely inherit India’s legacy but reshape it and propel it toward a developed, sustainable tomorrow,” he added.

On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor also felicitated Padma Shri Brij Lal Bhat. KK Khosa, president of the Kashmiri Pandit Sabha, Jammu; Deepak Dhar, senior vice-president; other office-bearers and people from different walks of life attended the celebrations.
