In the scenic district of Baramulla, where the snow-capped peaks of Jammu & Kashmir overlook stories of struggle and strength, one young man has emerged as a guiding light — Fayaz Ahmad Malik. A resident of Sariwarpora Pattan, Fayaz has become a name that echoes with compassion, leadership, and transformation. His journey is living proof that when purpose meets persistence, one individual can ignite an entire community’s hope.
Turning Dreams Into Deeds
For over six years, Fayaz has led the Green Valley Youth Club (GVYC) — an organization he shaped into a movement for change. What started with a simple principle — “Charity begins at home” — has evolved into a dynamic platform that addresses some of society’s most urgent needs: youth empowerment, women’s rights, and social justice.
Under his visionary leadership, GVYC has become a voice for the voiceless — helping the underprivileged, raising awareness about critical issues, and nurturing the spirit of unity among young people. Fayaz’s belief is firm: “Youth are not tomorrow’s hope; they are today’s strength.”
Empowering Women, Transforming Communities
One of the defining pillars of Fayaz’s work has been his tireless advocacy for women empowerment. In communities where gender roles often remain rigid, Fayaz has worked fearlessly to create awareness about equality, safety, and opportunity.
Through local drives, workshops, and campaigns, he has helped women understand their rights and embrace their potential. His motto — “When women rise, communities flourish” — is not just a slogan but a philosophy he lives by. By empowering women, he empowers entire families and generations.
Inspiring Youth: Building a Future With Purpose
Fayaz’s deep connection with the youth of Kashmir has made him a mentor and role model to many. He believes that the energy, imagination, and idealism of young people are the true engines of social transformation.
Through the Green Valley Youth Club, he has organized youth leadership programs, anti-drug campaigns, and creative competitions — giving youngsters a space to channel their energy into meaningful work. His message remains clear and powerful:
“Don’t let challenges define you — let your actions redefine what’s possible.”
A Leader in Times of Crisis
When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, Fayaz rose to the occasion with courage and compassion. As fear spread faster than the virus, he and his team worked tirelessly across Baramulla to ensure help reached those in need.
From distributing food packets, masks, and medicines to organizing cleanliness and fumigation drives, Fayaz became a frontline humanitarian, bringing relief to hundreds of families. His leadership during that difficult time reaffirmed his belief that humanity’s greatest strength lies in helping one another.
Speaking Up Against Injustice
Fayaz’s vision of a just society extends to his strong stance against gender-based violence. His initiatives helped bring 15 cases to light through the One Stop Center, ensuring justice for survivors and breaking the silence surrounding abuse.
Through awareness drives and community discussions, Fayaz has encouraged people to stand up, speak out, and challenge social taboos — proving that compassion and courage can coexist powerfully.

The Voice of Compassion and Commitment

“Social service is not just about helping others; it’s about uplifting humanity. My goal is to empower youth and women to lead change from within their communities.”
Through the Green Valley Youth Club, he continues to create platforms for leadership, compassion, and social development — nurturing a generation that values unity over division, and service over self-interest.
