Rinky Singh from Beril village, Billawar (Kathua), represented India at the UN ECOSOC Youth Forum in New York, bringing pride to Jammu & Kashmir and the nation.
From a small village to the global stage a daughter of Jammu & Kashmir makes India proud.
She is the first girl from J&K and North India to participate in this prestigious global forum. Her journey from a border village to the United Nations is an inspiration for every young dreamer.

Anchali(Ainchali): A Living Folk Tradition of Upper Kathua’s Pahadi Culture
In hills of Billawar and Bani, life moves with rhythm of traditions. Among the rich heritage of the region is the Anchali(Ainchali). A religious ballad rooted in the cultural identity of the Pahadi communities of upper Kathua and Chamba region of HP.
Anchali is traditionally performed during festivals, weddings and local fairs. It is not a formally structured dance but a collective expression of happiness, where villagers come together in rhythm, song and movement.
I have gone much deeper on Ainchali on duggarpedia
