Sheikh Mudasir’s life journey is a story of resilience and transformation. From once being a supporter of separatist activities, he has come a long way to establishing an academy in the Baramulla district of Kashmir, where underprivileged and orphaned students receive free coaching.

With support from the Army, old town Baramulla is witnessing a positive transformation through initiatives like GAASH Academy, founded by Sheikh Mudasir. The academy provides free educational support to about 80 underprivileged children and orphans, empowering them with modern education and guiding their energy towards becoming the torchbearers of a prosperous Kashmir.

The General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Vajra Division recently visited the academy to acknowledge the students’ outstanding performance in the JKBOSE exams. He praised their achievements and emphasised the importance of education in shaping a brighter future for Kashmir.

An Army spokesperson remarked, “Sheikh Mudasir’s journey is a powerful testament to resilience and transformation. Once drawn into separatist activities in his youth, he has now become a driving force for change in Baramulla. Despite battling a brain tumour and facing ongoing threats, his commitment to education and peace has never wavered.”

His initiative, GAASH Academy, has become a beacon of hope for the youth of the region, steering them away from extremism and towards a brighter future through education. “The success of Mudasir’s vision is evident in the academy’s remarkable performance in the JKBOSE exams, where several students scored above 90%,” the spokesperson added.

These impressive results highlight the effectiveness of GAASH Academy in empowering the youth of Baramulla, turning Mudasir’s vision into a powerful reality that is shaping a positive future for Kashmir.
