All these men and women devoted to constructive social work are the real heroes of national development.

โSelfless service holds the key to our future. In our quest towards nation building, we need to ensure that the growth benefits are equally distributed amongst all sections of the society, especially the poorest of the poorโ, said the Lt Governor.
Voluntary organizations and individuals working together with the administrative machinery have the potential to bring about revolutionary changes in the lives of people, bridging gaps in the systems and contributing to the progress of society and the nation, he added.

Despite numerous challenges in her personal life, Nazia has succeeded in creating conducive environment for less privileged in Bandipora and Ganderbal and motivating others to follow the path of Seva, added the Lt Governor.
The Lt Governor urged the Chetna Heroes and all those working towards the welfare of society to provide their valuable suggestions on the shortcomings of the administration to build a better and resilient system.
