Project Lead
DDC OFFICE, DODA
DODA, JAMMU & KASHMIR
11.2019 - 01.2020
- Tasked with leading the 'Youth Empowerment Super 50' initiative in the conflict-prone Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir. Tasked with mentoring talented, but underserved youth for the prestigious Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) exams, I worked to bridge the trust gap as an outsider by engaging deeply with the community. Amid challenges like an internet blackout following the abrogation of Article 370, I collaborated with local authorities to provide essential resources, and designed a data-driven entrance test to enhance competitiveness. By the end of this initiative, over 120 youth had joined the program, and several have since secured coveted positions in the Indian Administrative Services (IAS) and other fields. This experience showed me the transformative power of targeted mentorship, and reinforced my belief in youth as catalysts for societal change.
