Politics with Purpose: Assembly Candidacy at 32-Pampore Constituency

In 2024, Dr. Bilal Ahmad Bhat made history by contesting in the Jammu & Kashmir Assembly Election at 32-Pampore Constituency, not as a career politician, but as a leader with solutions. His campaign was rooted in youth empowerment, education, economy, entrepreneurship, and ethical governance.

He received tremendous public respect—not because he promised change, but because he had already been delivering change for over two decades.

“When I was a teenager, I had older friends; now that I’m older, I have teenage friends.”
— a reminder that time is only a number, and leadership is timeless.

 Champion of the UN’s 17 SDGs

Dr. Bhat and his group of companies actively support the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—from poverty eradication, quality education, clean energy, industry innovation to gender equality, and global partnerships.
