President Droupadi Murmu, who arrived in Srinagar on Wednesday on a two-day visit to J&K, stressed on the youth to come forward for social and environmental causes, especially to preserve the Himalayan ecosystem.
Addressing the 20th convocation of the University of Kashmir, Srinagar, Ms. Murmu urged the youth to contribute to ‘Aman’ and ‘Chayen’ (peace and stability).
“Students of the varsity should actively participate in social service along with their studies. It is the responsibility of all of us to preserve this paradise on earth. The varsity should be alert in preserving the Himalayan ecosystem,” Ms. Murmu said, while using the famous Kashmiri saying from Sufi saint Sheikh Noruddin Noorani, “Ann poshe teli yele wan poshe” (Food supply cannot sustain only when forest will sustain).
