History
Chinar YUVA Centre Baramulla was founded by a group of passionate individuals with a shared vision of creating positive change in their community. This diverse group consisted of teachers, social workers, business owners, and residents committed to improving the quality of life for everyone. Recognizing the need for a centralized hub to address various community needs, they conceptualized the idea of Chinar YUVA. The center would serve as a multifunctional space where residents could access educational resources, social services, and recreational activities. With support from local volunteers, the Indian Army, and ONGC, the vacant building was transformed into a vibrant and welcoming space. Chinar YUVA has inspired similar grassroots community development initiatives across the region.
