The wastage of time and money can have a profoundly negative impact on your happiness in life because time is an irreplaceable resource. Consequently, it is vital to exercise prudence and avoid time and money wastage.
The people of Pahalgam, including ourselves, are grappling with various problems and difficulties, which we attempt to address, but we do not attain swift success in overcoming these challenges. The key factors contributing to these issues are the limited access to education and our inadequate knowledge of government programs and information, which facilitates the exploitation of our rights by others. Conversely, residents of other areas effectively utilize government schemes and programs, owing to their familiarity with and proximity to relevant information, and consequently secure their rights in a timely fashion. Nevertheless, in Pahalgam, we remain disconnected from government initiatives and programs, primarily due to insufficient information and awareness, leading to unclaimed benefits.
We have become accustomed to a culture of spending money to acquire everything, while institutions are responsible for providing all legitimate services. As a result, our financial and economic losses due to excessive spending hinder our social development and happiness. The Himalayan Welfare Organization-HWO has organized various workshops, seminars, and meetings in Pahalgam over the past fifteen years, aiming to empower our people with knowledge and information about their rights.
The public has demonstrated limited enthusiasm and a lukewarm attitude towards acquiring knowledge, including the right to information and right to public services guarantee, due to our habit of daily market visits and our preoccupation with our cabs, ponies , shops or engagement in our guest houses , we usually abstain from participating in such events and gaining valuable insights.
This lack of enthusiasm causes us significant pain, as our own people fail to understand their fundamental rights and justice system in a timely manner. We pray that the Almighty may grant us the ability to think critically and make informed decisions, enabling us to do justice to ourselves and future generations. Ameen.
