GANDERBAL: In an effort to increase awareness and encourage voter participation, the Youth Services and Sports (YSS) Ganderbal on Saturday organized Volleyball competitions for boys in Zone Kangan and Zone Tullamulla.

These events were conducted as part of the broader Systematic Voters Education and Electoral Participation (SVEEP) initiative, aimed at educating the community about the importance of electoral engagement.

The Volleyball competitions, held under the banner of SVEEP, are part of a district-wide awareness campaign, implemented on the directions of the District Election Officer, Ganderbal. The initiative seeks to utilize sports as a platform to inspire the youth and the broader community to actively participate in the electoral process, emphasizing their role in strengthening democracy.

Through these sporting events, YSS Ganderbal aims to foster a spirit of sportsmanship besides underlining the importance of every vote in shaping the future of the region and the nation. The active involvement of young athletes and the local community serves as a crucial reminder of the power of electoral participation, and these competitions have proven to be an effective medium for spreading this message.

The department’s efforts, in collaboration with the election authorities, highlight the role of community-centric activities in promoting awareness about voter rights and responsibilities.
