JAMMU, Oct 5: Reaffirming the spirit of “Seva Ka Sankalp”, BJP Beti Bachao Beti Padhao J&KUT Convenor Ritika Trehan led an inspiring outreach programme at Louis Braille Blind School Upper Roop Nagar North 79 Muthi Paloura Mandal Jammu, where students participated enthusiastically in Rangoli and Painting activities, showcasing their creativity, imagination and confidence.
The programme also included the distribution of snacks and drinks among the students, while the Beti Bachao Beti Padhao (BBBP) team contributed and donated essential items as a gesture of care and support. The initiative reflected the team’s commitment to extending the spirit of Seva Ka Sankalp beyond awareness activities and towards meaningful, compassionate community engagement.
The programme provided an opportunity to celebrate the remarkable abilities of specially-abled students and recognise their talent beyond conventional limitations. Interacting with the students, Ritika Trehan appreciated their enthusiasm and creative expression, saying that their participation was a powerful reminder that talent has no boundaries and creativity knows no limitations.
Trehan said that service is not merely about extending material support but also about sharing happiness, encouraging confidence and creating an atmosphere of dignity and inclusion. She said initiatives under Seva Ka Sankalp should continue to reach sections of society that deserve greater attention, care and encouragement. “Art is not always about what our eyes see; it is also about what the heart feels and what imagination creates,” she said.
She further emphasised the importance of ensuring that children with visual and other disabilities receive equal opportunities to explore their talents and participate meaningfully in social and cultural activities. Such programmes, she said, help build confidence among students while sensitising society towards the abilities, aspirations and dignity of every child.
The Rangoli and Painting activities turned into a colourful and joyful experience, with students participating with immense enthusiasm. The organisers appreciated their efforts and encouraged them to continue nurturing their creativity and pursuing their interests with confidence.
Trehan said that the initiative was a small but meaningful step towards spreading happiness, compassion and inclusion, adding that the spirit of service should translate into sustained efforts for the welfare and empowerment of children and vulnerable sections of society.
Prominent among those present on the occasion included Tripta Rana, Convener North ; Rekha Gupta, Co-Convenor; Rekha Manhas, former Corporator; Malti Sharma, State Cultural In-charge; Suman Sharma, District Mahila Morcha Gen.Secy. Ritu Razdan, District Secretary; Rekha Chib, District Mahila Morcha Secretary; Suresh Sharma, In-charge of Rangoli Karyakram; and Purshottam Sharma, Mandal Secretary, besides other BJP members and team members who actively participated in and contributed to the successful conduct of the programme.
The programme concluded with appreciation for the students and the message that true service lies in creating opportunities, spreading smiles and ensuring that every individual gets the confidence and space to showcase their potential.
