Jammu (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], June 20 (ANI): A 15-day special self-defence camp for girls is currently underway in Jammu, organised by the Rashtriya Sewika Samiti. Around 60 girls from various districts of the Jammu region are participating in the training program, which aims to empower them with essential self-defence skills.
The camp includes training in stick combat (Dandh) and karate (Niyudha) to help the girls protect themselves in challenging situations. Pankaja, the organiser of the camp, emphasised the importance of such training for girls in Jammu and Kashmir, given the region's circumstances.
'Girls in Jammu and Kashmir need this kind of training to boost their confidence and enable them to handle any adverse situation effectively,' Pankaja told ANI.
She said training is particularly concentrated on teaching self-defence using everyday household items in emergencies.
'We are working to teach self-defence and boost confidence among women. During this summer vacation, we are organising such camps across the country. In Jammu and Kashmir, this 15-day camp is being conducted with participation from women across various districts. We are training them on how to protect themselves using everyday household items,' she said.
In addition to physical training, the participants are also being taught moral values and discipline during the 15-day camp to instil a sense of responsibility and self-control in their daily lives.
Earlier, in an effort to empower local youth and prepare them for upcoming Territorial Army (TA) recruitment rallies, the Indian Army's 4 Rashtriya Rifles unit, based in Bhaderwah launched a pre-recruitment training programme in the Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir.
The initiative is part of the Army's broader mission to empower and engage youth from remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir by preparing them for a career in the armed forces. The training aims to enhance the physical fitness, discipline, and overall readiness of participants to meet the rigorous demands of the recruitment process.
The Army conducted screening and recruitment training for youth enrolment in the Indian Army at Bhaderwah.
An Army official overseeing the training said, 'This programme is not only a pathway to employment for our youth but also a step toward strengthening national integration and channelising their energy in a positive direction.'
'The pre-recruitment training aimed to provide physical conditioning and written examination preparation for youth aspiring to join the Indian Army from remote areas of Doda District,' the officer added.
Local youth have shown enthusiastic participation in the training, expressing gratitude for the Army's support. A large number of aspiring youths participated in the training session and appreciated the Army for such a great initiative. (ANI)

AAP leader Manish Sisodia appears before ACB in Classroom scam case, says case motivated with BJP politics
New Delhi [India], June 20 (ANI): Aam Aadmi Party leader Manish Sisodia on Friday accused the Bhartiya Janata Party of 'misusing' agencies to file false cases against the opposition. The former Delhi Deputy CM appeared before the Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) in a case of Delhi's classroom scam. Manish Sisodia said that excellent work has been done in Delhi in education and brilliant classrooms and schools were built during his tenure. He alleged that the case filed against him is motivated by politics with the BJP, and he will keep his stand against the ACB. He further mentioned BJP MP Manoj Tiwari and asserted that he had made allegations against him related to the same case. However, Sisodia later filed a defamation suit against Tiwari, after which he is currently out of jail on bail. 'See, excellent schools have been built in Delhi and excellent education is imparted but BJP, motivated by politics, misuses its agencies and files FIRs. This is completely a politically motivated case and I will put my views before the ACB. BJP misused all the agencies and dug up the lives of each and every leader but they did not find anything. They only file fake FIRs, the same will happen in this case as well. I want to say one thing that Manoj Tiwari had made these allegations against me but when I filed a defamation suit against him, he is out on bail. In this, Manoj Tiwari is also running away from the allegations, I wonder why BJP is doing this', Manish Sisodia told reporters on Friday. On June 5, Delhi Police's Anti-Corruption Branch (ACB) has recorded statements of nearly 20 individuals, including engineers, contractors, and officials from the Education Department. According to sources, police have also questioned an architect whose bank account allegedly received funds from the contractors. Notably, no architect was officially appointed in this government project, raising serious questions about how and why the funds were transferred to the architect's account. This financial trail has now become a crucial aspect of the investigation. Earlier on the complaints of BJP leaders Harish Khurana, Kapil Mishra and Neelkanth Bakshi, the Anti-Corruption Branch, GNCTD has registered a case against Manish Sisodia and Satyendra Jain, the then Ministers of the erstwhile Delhi Govt. of Aam Aadmi Party, regarding allegations of a scam to the tune of Rs. 2,000 crore in the construction of school classrooms/buildings in NCT of Delhi at exorbitant costs.
