Winds of Change: Female auto-rickshaw driver from Jammu transcends gender-centric barriers to earn respectful livelihood

[ad_1]
Suhail Khan
Jammu, Mar 7 (GNS): Gender gaps and barriers are fast vanishing for the women in Union territory of Jammu and Kashmir, as the fairer gender can now access resources and decision-making opportunities more easily – with Jammu’s Ranjeet Kour being one such glaring example.
Ranjeet Kour, a resident of Kunjwani in the Jammu district, believed to be the woman auto-rickshaw driver in her area, is now an inspiration for many and seen as a respectable figure wherever she goes.
Talking exclusively with GNS, Kour said when nothing seemed to be helping her family, she one day decided to work shoulder to shoulder with her husband, as an auto-rickshaw driver. She said though it was difficult to convince him (husband) at the initial stage, but once he agreed, I without wasting time joined the Umeed group, from where I got financial help for e-rickshaw.
Kour said there is no shame in choosing any work. “When I am satisfied with this work and am able to help my family in a very good way, then why should I care about the taunts or criticism by people? “I believe no work is less than your God; once you treat it as worship, then believe me, there is always a fruitful result.”
She said I am now getting praises across the board wherever I go even by those who once used to criticize me. “Passengers are even more impressed with my courage now.”
“We all have our dreams and if we are passionate about them, we will definitely achieve success”, Kour says adding “However, along with all our hard work, a little help from others can just be the thing which one needs to fulfill his/her dreams and I am very thankful to the Umeed scheme because of which I am able to see happiness in my home.”
Ranjeet Kour stated that I earn between Rs. 1500 and 2000 on a day-to-day basis besides that I am now getting special bookings in the area.

“I would like to ask the women to come out of their homes and work to empower themselves for there is absolutely nothing that women cannot achieve”, Kour further said. (GNS)

Administration‘s Ugly Designs Unacceptable: Peoples Conference

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: Jammu and Kashmir Peoples Conference on Tuesday held a provincial meeting at its party headquarters in Srinagar.
The meeting was organized by the Provincial Committee headed by Provincial President Mohammad Khurshid Alam and attended by senior leadership, members of the youth wing, women’s wing, and student wing of the party. In the course of the meeting, the leaders deliberated on a host of issues concerning the people of J&K and subsequently adopted a resolution.
The PC leaders stressed that the need of the hour is for the party workers to fan out across J&K to reach out and interact with the people at every level.
“It is at this time of need, when the people of J&K are feeling isolated and alienated, that political forces must extensively reach out to the people to fill the void”, the leaders emphasized during the meeting, as per a statement issued to the news agency GNS.
The leaders once again appealed to the J&K administration to stop needling the people of J&K on every issue and let them live in peace.
“Not a day goes by when there is not some new sinister experiment by this administration. The people of J&K have gone through a lot of turmoil. It is perhaps the only place in India that does not have a popular government”, the leadership noted.
PC leaders also expressed their grave apprehensions about the shortlisting of recruitment company Aptech by the SSRB. They implored the administration to stop playing with the future of the youth of J&K and spare them from any further experimentation.
“If APTECH is blacklisted by seven states, how can the J & K administration have the audacity to hire the same company? Even any transparent selection in the future will be tarnished because of a tarnished recruitment agency”, the statement added. (GNS)
