JAMMU, Mar 29: There is a dire need that the State as well as the Central Governments launches a special employment package for migrants including Kashmiri Pandits and other minority people from the Valley, besides a financial assistance to involve the youth in sports and other allied activities and nurture their sporting talent.
This was stated by Bollywood Actress and Ex-Member Parliament, Jaya Pradha during a valedictory function of a mega sports event, organized by the Minorities Welfare Society of Jammu and Kashmir at Jagti Migrant Apartments Playfield, near here today.

Addressing a large gathering of Jagti inmates, Jaya said that love and affection of the people here brought me an ecstatic feeling and I simply felt at home.
“I got a feeling that the people were waiting in the wings to receive me. I have no words to express their enthusiasm and spirit. I got the same love which the women get when they come to meet their mothers after the marriage. I just feel what child must be feeling in mother’s lap,” Jaya said.
Lauding the efforts of social worker Preeti Saproo in building better societies, Jaya said that when I was asked by my friend to come to Jagti, without any second thought, I came here to appreciate and encourage the youth, adding that I will visit again and again for such noble causes.
