On behalf of Bhumika Raina, the Editor of the “Spirit ofYouth” section, we wish to remind you that the section focuses on showcasing the latent talent and indigenous lifestyles of Youth in the 0-30 age group. It provides Youth an opportunity to inspire and encourage others by narrating their stories, voicing their opinions and sharing their accomplishments. It functions with the honest motif of bringing the youth under a common umbrella, working together to rekindle belongingness to the Kashmiri community and uncovering hidden talents within the Community. She requests your contributions and these works to the "Spirit of Youth" section will be captured in the following age groups:

• The Braves Arise (Bud-Life) sub-section will feature activities of children in the range of newborn till 12 years.

• The Captains of Change (Gaia Star) sub-section will feature activities of teenagers in the range of 13 years till 19 years.

• The Dynamos of progress (Eternal Life) sub-section will feature activities of adults in the range of 20 till 30 years.
