While talking to media, a young Artist Sulinder Parihar Sarazi said, “There is plethora of talent in our Jammu and Kashmir whether it is painting, Sketching, Graphic designing, Digital Art etc but the only thing that is lagging is opportunities.

Speaking at the 24th National Youth Festival at Teachers Bhawan in Jammu, to commemorate the birth anniversary of Swami Vivekananda, Lieutenant Governor said that the aim of the programme is to provide a platform to bring the youth of the country together, give them opportunities to showcase their talents in various activities and promote the spirit of communal harmony and brotherhood among them.
“The National Youth Festival is not any other programme, but rather a festival in my opinion. The youth is a major driving force of a nation. It is to acknowledge this force, that we celebrate the National Youth Day,” Sinha further said.
He added that “the youth of Jammu and Kashmir needs opportunities to showcase their capabilities. The union territory government provides handholding to the talented youth of J&K for the promotion of their talent at the national and international level.”
Mr. Sinha flagged off a batch of girls’ contingent for a 15-day ski course and training to be conducted at the famous Gulmarg hill resort in north Kashmir.
A total of 600 budding skiers, both boys and girls, would be trained under Olympian Gul Mustafa and other experienced coaches and trainers in a two-and-a-half-month-long programme.
