Wattan Ko Jano
Wattan Ko Jano, an initiative being carried out by
the Union Ministry of Home Affairs in coordination with the Jammu and Kashmir
(J&K) Government, was in news. The
initiative came in news after more than 240 youth in the age-group of 15 to 24
from J&K met with Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
Watan Ko Jano initiative was conceived by the
J&K State Rehabilitation Council in 2011. It essentially is a Youth
Exchange Programme under which the children of militancy-hit victims,
orphanages, and weaker sections of society are identified by Jammu and Kashmir
State Rehabilitation Council as beneficiaries under the programme in the state.
The initiative aims at exposing youth from the state
to the vibrant development and vitality of culture of people residing in other
states of the country. Earlier on 29 December 2015, a group of 250 such
youngsters participated in the Watan Ko Jano tour and met Home Minister Rajnath
Singh.
