I am a dedicated educator and journalist from Village Chachwah, Tehsil Gool, District Ramban, Jammu and Kashmir. My academic path began with a Bachelor of Physical Education (B.P.Ed.) from Nagpur University, followed by a Master of Physical Education (M.P.Ed.) from Jammu University. In 2019, I was selected as a Physical Education Teacher, but my commitment to broader social issues led me to pursue other meaningful roles. I later served as a Contractual Assistant Professor at Commerce College and M.M. College, where I actively contributed to student development and academic growth. Currently, I serve as the Chief Editor and Owner of The STRONG Signal News Channel, a Jammu and Kashmir–based media platform. The channel is committed to highlighting and addressing crucial issues such as unemployment, poverty, human rights violations, fundamental rights violations, and both local and global exclusive matters that affect everyday lives. Rooted in community values and driven by a passion for truth, I aim to use journalism as a powerful tool to advocate for justice, raise awareness, and empower the unheard voices of society.
