The Indian Army stepped up for girl power in Kupwara, arranging an inspiring excursion to Gulmarg for local workers. Departing from Pathri Garrison on February 17 under the Vajra Division’s Kupwara Territors, the trip targeted girls at the Folk Centre and Barkat Bistro.
Aimed at remote-area residents, the outing opened doors to unexplored beauty, letting them soak in Gulmarg’s alpine splendor. Experts in youth development note how travel boosts self-esteem and character building—exactly what the Army intended.
Gondola rides offered panoramic views of frosty summits and alpine meadows, a first for many. Overwhelmed with excitement, the participants voiced their delight, and families extended heartfelt thanks to the Army facilitators.
North Kashmir women are at the heart of the Army’s empowerment drive: connecting communities, motivating minds, teaching trades, and fortifying futures. Supporting livelihoods while spotlighting abilities helps these girls elevate themselves and their regions.
Interactive elements during the journey sharpened teamwork and leadership—key to self-sufficiency. The Army views these as vital tools for creating fearless, capable individuals.
Spokespersons highlighted the initiative’s focus on holistic growth for Kupwara girls, with future programs in the pipeline. It’s a testament to the Army’s dual commitment: safeguarding borders and nurturing tomorrow’s leaders.
