From October 14th to 17th, CISS AJK team conducted an academic outreach visit to Neelum Valley, aimed at enhancing youth capacity-building and promoting awareness of key strategic issues. The team engaged with students at Kel Girls Degree College, Sharda Boys College, and UAJK Campus Athmuqam, delivering lectures on topics such as Cyber Security, Economic Security in AJK, Strategic Stability in South Asia, and Arms Control and Disarmament. The visit generated substantial interest among students and led to the identification of critical regional challenges for informed policy recommendations, while also establishing a network of CISS AJK Ambassadors across local educational institutions.
