1st workshop of Jyotirdhar Course (OJM J&K 2.0) was organized during 21-23 August 2024, at respective SCERT venues of Jammu (Directorate, Muthi Camp) & Srinagar (Ustad Ghar, Bemina).
Journey of Oasis Jyotirdhar Movement, J&K
Phase 1, early 2017 : In partnership with RMSA-J&K, Oasis Jyotirdhar Movement project was initiated in all 3 divisions - Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh - covering around 200 School Principals. As a natural outcome, cascading programs benefitted hundreds of students across the region through Life Camps and Dream India Camps.
Phase 2, early 2023 : A renewed MoU with SCERT-J&K, dovetailed engagement of school Principals of Phase 1 as Facilitators who initiated series of programs for teachers and students through Dept of School Education at Jammu and Kashmir divisions.
In August 2024, based on similar model of Phase 1, Jyotirdhar Course for fresh batch of 60 selected school heads from all 20 districts of both divisions was launched last month.
