Kulgam, August 31, 2025 – In a significant step towards #YouthEmpowerment and fostering self-employment opportunities, the District Level Implementation Committee (DLIC) in Kulgam has approved 200 fresh applications under the flagship #MissionYUVA initiative. This approval includes 191 Nano-Enterprises and 9 MSME units, marking a major boost for aspiring young entrepreneurs in the region.
