J-K LG Sinha Calls for IT Benefits in Border Villages
Manoj Sinha said children in Jammu and Kashmir’s border villages should get the same opportunities as children in big cities.
He wants smart classrooms, digital libraries, and skill-training programs to reach remote villages.
He also wants young people to find work or start businesses in local fields such as farming, tourism, and handicrafts.
Sinha said sports, art, and culture can help young people use their energy creatively.
He described five important areas for helping youth: education and technology, jobs, sports and culture, access to opportunities, and guidance.
He said scholarships and national or international competitions should be open to border-area youth.
He also said children should learn and value their mother tongue and heritage.
His goal is for every child to believe they can achieve their dreams.
