Srinagar: Child Nurture And Relief

of vulnerable children, destitute families and marginalized youth through
education and community based socio-economic initiatives-- today organized

According to a statement issued to KNS, noted financial
writer and a banker Sajad Bazaz who was the chief guest on the occasion while

responsibility of the guardians to raise their children in a better way and
educate them,” Bazaz said.
Station Head 92.7 BIG FM Muzaffar Shah who was also guest
of honour on the occasion appreciated the role of CHINAR in organizing such
events. He also laid emphasis on quality education for the overall development
of children. Manager Programs, Yassar Shah in his inaugural speech said that
CHINAR started its intervention in Srinagar in January 2013. “Currently we are
supporting 60 children under Remote Children/Education Sponsorship Program and
six families are covered under community finance for livelihood,” Shah added.
