Ganderbal Reads

How It All Began

While Kashmir is blessed with wonderful reading communities like Srinagar Reads, we realized that Ganderbal was missing its own dedicated hub for literary passion.

Refusing to wait for someone else to build it, we decided to ignite the spark ourselves! Founded by an incredibly passionate young boy named Mohammad Yasir Shah (also known as Inventor Yasir) and his visionary sister, Ganderbal Reads was born.

It is not just a club; it's a non-commercial, community-driven movement aimed at reviving the culture of reading, sparking deeply meaningful conversations, and championing lifelong learning!
