JAMMU: A meeting of BJP Mahila Morcha Jammu & Kashmir was held today at the BJP Headquarters, Trikuta Nagar, Jammu, under the leadership of Mahila Morcha President Adv. Neha Mahajan.

During the meeting, women members collectively resolved to promote healthy living, fuel conservation, responsible spending and social awareness across Jammu & Kashmir. Inspired by the vision of Hon’ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi for a self-reliant and strong India, the Mahila Morcha members discussed encouraging simple yet impactful lifestyle changes within society.

The emphasis was laid on reducing unnecessary fuel consumption through carpooling, walking for short distances and adopting healthier daily habits. The members also discussed spreading awareness among families regarding the balanced use of cooking oil and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle for the well-being of children and families. At the same time, women members expressed the need for responsible and need-based spending habits, encouraging society to focus more on savings, education, health and self-reliance rather than unnecessary luxury expenses.

A special discussion was also held regarding unnecessary expenditure on gold purchases. During the interaction, many women members supported the idea of voluntarily avoiding or minimising gold purchases for one year as a symbolic step towards promoting financial discipline, savings and responsible household management. It was observed that such awareness can help families focus more on children’s education, healthcare, self-reliance and overall family welfare.

The Mahila Morcha also appealed to citizens to embrace the spirit of “Vocal for Local” by supporting local products and businesses to strengthen the nation’s economy. It was resolved that women and youth across Jammu & Kashmir would be motivated to actively participate in awareness campaigns related to health, environment, responsible living and nation-building.

Neha Mahajan stated that when women take positive initiatives within families and society, it creates a meaningful impact on the nation’s future. She added that healthy families, responsible citizens and socially aware communities are the foundation of a strong and self-reliant India.
