Akshay Kumar Sharma
I’m Akshay Kumar Sharma, a Jammu and Kashmir native who works as an assistant architect and is passionate about promoting peace. The Governor of Jammu and Kashmir recognised me in 2012, and I was fortunate to get the coveted President’s Award from the Honorable President of India in 2014. The Yakjah Reconciliation and Development Network awarded me the Gratitude Award in recognition of my efforts to promote peace. I currently coordinate the Youth Council for Up with People (USA) and lead policy and strategy at Yakjah’s Cultural and Conflict Project. Through these roles, I direct my energies toward global youth empowerment and cultural exchange activities.
