Srinagar, June 23: The historic Tiger Hall in Srinagar buzzed with appreciation and inspiration as Gandhi Global Family (GGF), in collaboration with Care Foundation, organised a felicitation ceremony to honour media professionals and social activists for their exemplary service to society.
The event shone a well-deserved spotlight on **Peerzada Masarat Shah**, Sub Editor of *The Heaven Mail*, who was felicitated for his dedicated contribution to journalism and efforts in raising public awareness on key issues. Several other journalists and social activists were also recognised for their tireless work in their respective fields, reflecting a shared commitment to truth, welfare, and community upliftment.
Social activist Muhammad Iqbal Mir, who facilitated the programme, highlighted the indispensable role of responsible journalism and grassroots community service. “In times of change and development, it is voices like these — grounded in integrity and service — that help build a stronger, more harmonious society,” he emphasised.
Principal Secretary Shri Brij Mohan Sharma attended as the chief guest and warmly appreciated the contributions of journalists, social workers, and community-based organisations. He noted their vital role in addressing public concerns, amplifying voices of the common man, and strengthening the bonds of social harmony in Jammu and Kashmir.
Organisers from Gandhi Global Family and Care Foundation underlined that the joint initiative seeks to celebrate and motivate individuals and institutions working selflessly for societal welfare. “Such recognitions not only honour past efforts but also inspire greater participation in social causes, aligning with Gandhian values of service, peace, and truth,” they stated.
The ceremony concluded on a dignified note with the presentation of mementos and certificates to all the honourees.
This event by Gandhi Global Family once again underscores the organisation’s commitment to promoting ethical journalism, social activism, and community development in the Valley. The Heaven Mail congratulates Peerzada Masarat Shah and all other awardees on this well-earned recognition. Their work continues to enrich public discourse and contribute meaningfully to Kashmir’s progress.
Such platforms reinforce the spirit of collaboration and service that defines our society’s finest traditions.
