Srinagar : Jammu and Kashmir Innovators forum (JKIF), a state based NGO, is going to organize an event “JKIF Youth Icon awards-2015” on Wednesday, September 16, in the premises of University of Kashmir to felicitate unsung heroes of the state.
In a statement, Innovators Forum head Engineer Idrees-ul-Haq said that on September 16, the unsung heroes of state will be awarded on the basis of votes they got in the online voting round which was held in July, this year.
“A total of 75 nominees were competing under 10 categories. Social Work category was the highest voted category which witnessed 9402 valid votes followed by engineering which saw 1366 votes and on third number Entrepreneurship Category witnessed cast of 1244 votes. Journalism category saw 1187 votes being cast. Law Category saw the lowest number of votes cast at 67, which were followed by Medicine category by 124 more probably on account of less number of nominees. The total number of valid votes remained 15821,” Idrees said in a Statement .
The Youth Icon Award is first of its kind to be organised by a non-government organisation in Kashmir which aims at motivating and channelizing the energy of youth in positive direction.
JKIF, registered as a subsidiary for SRVES (Social Royal Voluntary Environmental Service), has organized several successful state level programmes in the past. SRVES is a registered state wide trust which aims to provide impetus to the young minds, who lack the infrastructure and right platform, & are at a verge of dissemination to other fellow countries.
