Origin

In the summer of 2002, a few students of Govt Degree college Bhaderwah led by Mr. sadaket Malik and others got together to think of ways in which they could play a role in the development of education in hilly terrain of Bhalessa Doda of J&K state.

These young people shared the belief that education is a critical requisite and an effective catalyst for social and economic change in the area. Basic education became the agenda for the action group that emerged from this gathering. The group was named NSWA to represent the hope that had brought these individuals together and the hope that they aimed to bring into the lives of youth of the area. In that summer of 2002, mission was born at the Govt Degree College Bhaderwah Doda J&K. Since its inception NGO organised mass cultivation programmes, Debates, Peace Mission rallies. In the summer of 2006, the NGO moved its proposal to IGNOU Vice chancellor for the setting up of IGNOU Special Study centre in Bhalessa. IGNOU SSC was set up in 2006.
