SRINAGAR: On the second consecutive day of its ongoing outreach initiative, the Social Welfare Department (SWD)– SANKALP Hub for Empowerment of Women Srinagar continued its efforts to promote education and support underprivileged sections of society by distributing educational kits among girl students at Government Boys Middle School, Moti Mohalla Kalan Dal, and Government Girls Middle School, Latti Mohalla Dal.

The initiative aims to encourage girl students to actively pursue their education by providing essential learning materials, thereby reducing barriers to access and enhancing academic participation.
