a non-governmental organisation, organised the first-ever entrepreneurship conclave in Kashmir—a landmark event aimed at inspiring and empowering young minds. The primary goal of the conclave was to encourage entrepreneurship and managerial skills among Kashmiri youth, motivating them to become job creators rather than job seekers.
