My Continuing Promise

"Sustainability of our KOA initiatives and programs is my primary goal. While a lot has already been accomplished in the last two years, a lot of work has to be done to make each of these initiatives sustainable, so that they stand on their own and grow well into the future. My goal for a potential second term as Zone 5 Director, is to ensure that the initiatives that were launched in the last 21 months are strengthened, potentially all expanded nationally (like the Language Literacy Initiative), and that they become an ongoing part of the KOA programs, and are handed off to the capable hands of future zonal leadership. "

1. Organize “Second National Camp” in Zone 5.

2. Continue the development and launch of the “Zone 5 Mentorship & Skills Upgrading” Program.

4. Take the “Kashmiri Cultural Education Initiative National”, as part of the KOA Heritage Committee initiatives.
