Updated:2 years ago

Geneva (Switzerland) June 28 (ANI): In a significant display of progress and development initiatives, a banner exhibition highlighting advancements in Jammu and Kashmir was held at the Broken Chair in Geneva, just outside the United Nations headquarters on Friday. Organized by Sheikh Khalid, an author and peace activist from Srinagar, in collaboration with global human rights defender Elena Vallejo, the exhibition aimed to showcase the positive transformations in the Union Territory of India. The exhibition featured a series of posters illustrating various technological interventions, advancements in food technology and processing, innovative approaches to Dal Lake cleaning, silk weaving traditions, and projects under the Srinagar Smart City initiative. According to Khalid, the event was a platform to communicate the strides made in tourism, education, and environmental conservation efforts, particularly highlighting the ongoing efforts to rejuvenate Dal Lake. Reflecting on the historical context, Khalid emphasized Kashmir's choice in 1947 to integrate with India as a secular nation, opting for democracy and progress over alignment with Muslim-majority Pakistan. He expressed satisfaction with the current government's efforts in combating cross-border terrorism effectively, a sentiment shared during his participation at the 56th Session of the UN Human Rights Council. "The exhibition not only celebrates the rapid development in the Union Territory but also aims to counter extremist ideologies, particularly among the youth," Khalid remarked. "It signifies a shift towards positive narratives and showcases the resilience of Kashmiri people amidst challenges," he added. The initiative garnered attention for its portrayal of the region's positive stories and government-led developmental initiatives, presenting a narrative of hope and progress amid longstanding geopolitical complexities. Khalid concluded that the exhibition marks a pivotal moment in showcasing Kashmir's journey towards prosperity and peace on the global stage.
