Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha stated today that Jammu and Kashmir holds the potential for a dynamic and prosperous future, growing into a vibrant center of culture and advancing into a prosperous Union Territory through steady progress. Akashvani Jammu correspondent reports that the LG said that achieving this vision ultimately depends on the younger generation. The LG said he sincerely hopes that our youth will draw strength from the wisdom passed down by our ancestors and work with determination to elevate Jammu and Kashmir to a place among the country's developed regions. The LG was speaking at the Navreh celebrations, organized by the Kashmiri Pandit Sabha, Amphalla, Jammu. He invoked the blessings of Maa Sharika for the health, prosperity, and well-being of all. Interacting with the devotees, the LG wished that the New Year usher in a radiant dawn for everyone, illuminating paths to renewed hope and a thriving future. The LG said that the worship of Maa Durga and Maa Sharika is a profound tribute to the primal source of power from which the universe springs. As the Rigveda says, the Mother's strength is infinite. Over nine days of fasting, prayer, and discipline, Navratri transforms the devotee from within, the Lieutenant Governor said. He also encouraged the youth to build a strong and lasting connection with the timeless traditions, rich spiritual heritage, and wisdom that remain among our greatest treasures. On the occasion, the Lieutenant Governor also felicitated Padma Shri Brij Lal Bhat.
