Poonch's Revitalized Park and Empowering Women in Jammu & Kashmir

The newly developed 'Joggers Park' in Poonch offers local residents a rejuvenating space, while Jammu & Kashmir sees advancements in women's empowerment with the launch of LIC's Bima Sakhi Scheme in Doda district, enabling educated women to earn from home.

In Poonch, the newly established 'Joggers Park' is becoming an invaluable resource for local residents, offering them a revitalized space for exercise and relaxation. A resident mentioned that the park, launched only days ago, has already seen substantial footfall, particularly from the elderly who appreciate the park's clean and inviting environment.

Behind this initiative is a broader developmental momentum within the Poonch area and Jammu & Kashmir at large, exciting locals with its potential. This push for improvement extends beyond infrastructure, reaching into societal realms such as women's empowerment, epitomized by the recent launch of the LIC's Bima Sakhi Scheme in the Doda district.

This scheme, inaugurated by Deputy Commissioner Harvinder Singh, aims to empower women aged 18-70 who are at least 10th-grade graduates. By enrolling and passing a basic exam, these women can work with LIC from home, harnessing a unique opportunity to gain financial independence and contribute to the ongoing social transformation in the region.
