During his welcome speech, CA R.K. Gupta expressed that this forum's function is the first of its kind and will continue to honor achievers from Jammu and Kashmir. The forum aims to serve as a bridge between the administration and the public, regardless of caste, creed, trade, or industry, federation or association, to ensure that the opinions, suggestions, desires, and thoughts of the public are conveyed respectfully. Mr. Gupta also emphasized the option for people of Jammu to contribute to the Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Charitable Society, a registered organization under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, for corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities.
