Abdul Kalam, Aadi Shankaracharya and so on have been written on the Wall of the Patti Village. The village and neighbouring villages frequently read these quotations and get inspired. Now it becomes a source of positivity and inspiration for the villagers. Many children in the village memorised these quotes and tried to implement them in their lives.

3. Matru Shakti Sangthan (Mother Power Organization)

This Samiti created a platform for women in the villages in that area to discuss solutions to their problems and initiatives for their upliftment. This platform plays a crucial role in empowering women and especially girls in the village. It also helps improve the quality of life of women in rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir.

4. Yuva Sangthan

It constituted under this socio-spiritual movement. It started to convert the tremendous energy of youth more constructively. It makes awareness among the youth of vicinity about their courier management, health, etc.

5. Baba Laxmandas Liblary

It quenches the mental hunger of people of this rural area. Now it emerges as a literature movement for villagers. It starts ‘Debate Club’ for debate and discussion. It provides an opportunity for different age groups to read according to their interest.

The Award Confirmation Letter was provided by Dr Ishaque Vazim Athnu, an Executive Director of this international research centre.
