The University for Kashmir initiative led by Dr Mehboob Makhdoomi held a volunteers’ meet for Srinagar district at Cafe Same Place on the banks of Dal Lake on Sunday.
More than forty volunteers were present at the venue. The agenda of the meeting was to brief the new cadre of volunteers and tell them about their roles. Dr Makhdoomi talked about the need for an international university in the Valley. After a brief address by Dr Tibet Bakal (Ex-Principal Islamia College/ Dean Cluster University Srinagar) and Riyaz Ahmad Shagoo (Ex J and K Bank Officer), there was a question answer session.
A membership drive was also held after the meeting and the participants registered as volunteers for the cause. Coordinators from various districts were also present at the venue.
Dr Makhdoomi said that the project belonged to every citizen of Jammu and Kashmir. “If anyone wants to interact before contributing in any way, our office would welcome them”, he added.
The office is located at GMC Road, Karanagar, Srinagar.
