Srinagar: A Kashmiri
student has became the first girl editor of a global children's
newspaper 'The Peace Gong' released in New Delhi, an official
statement said Monday.
"Iflah Qureshi, a Kashmiri student, became the first girl editor
of a global children's newspaper 'The Peace Gong'," said a press
statement issued by the government, adding the paper was released
by Zalmai Wafamal, the first secretary (political and press) in
the Afghan embassy during Global Youth Service Day celebrations
2013 in New Delhi on May 10.
The latest issue of the Peace Gong written for and by children in
India and beyond has been dedicated to the post-2015 development
agenda. Five young students from the state contributed their
inspiring write ups to the issue.
On the occasion, Iflah, a class 12 student, wrote: "Our newspaper,
The Peace Gong, promotes diversity and helps in facilitating
dialogue amongst young people from different cultures and
communities. This can be a powerful vehicle to help young people
to come together and work for global peace."
