Led by Dr. DK Manyal, former Minister, the delegation engaged in fruitful discussions with the Lt Governor regarding the UT Administration’s endeavors for the holistic development of the SC community.

Expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the J&K administration under the leadership of the LG for their commitment to social justice, empowerment of women and youth, and socio-economic upliftment of the SC community, the delegation highlighted several key concerns.
