who is Mehvish? She happens to be the first Kashmiri woman to develop an android application that goes by the name 'Dial Kashmir'. A Srinagar girl, Mehvish did not receive an education in a fancy elite college or university. After completing her schooling from Presentation Convent School, she sat for the All India Engineering Entrance Examination (AIEEE) examination. Disappointment followed. Having failing to clear the AIEEE. Mehvish joined the SSM College of Engineering ami Technology at I'attan. in Uaramulla district of north Kashmir.

Mehvish completed her three-year Bachelor's course in H)\2 and was wondering on what lo do next when life took an unexpected turn. She puts it this way. "I was generally going through my Facebook profile, when an advertisement popped out and caught my attention. It seemed interesting so I clicked on it."
Thai was how Mehvish joined an online course for developing applications. Always a person who wanted to get deeper into subjects that interested her. she found herself immersed in tin-world of application development. "The course Itself was not long - it was completed in one month.
After two weeks 01 hard work, without any assistance or help. 'Dial Kashmir' became reality for mehvish. It provides users detailed Information such as addresses, phone numbers and email ids of various essential services and relevant government departments in Kashmir. It is a one-slop source for information on healthcare, education, transport, the police and so many other sectors and meant thai no one now needs to spend time and tedious effort surfing through internet pages, official websites and directories. Her application has witnessed an average rating of 4.7 out of S. with a thousand plus downloads on Google ('lay. It disturbs Mehvlsh to note the absence of proper educational and career opportunities for infotech aspirants, which in turn forces thousands of young people to leave home every year. "The absence of relevant colleges and universities is a big issue in Kashmir. Our youth are not able to develop their potential here." she says. Mehvish has experienced for herself the innumerable hurdles that prevent Kashmir's dynamic young innovators from realising their potential. But she would like them not to lose hope and keep dreaming big. Mehvish's particular dream is to set up her own software company - which could provide employment opportunities for many and contribute to the world of Infotech. Says she. "There is no point in just complaining that there are no opportunities. While that Is certainly the case. I believe we have to find ways to create opportunities - not just wait endlessly for the government lo act. It's time we stood up and got noticed." Mehvish is working to add more contacts to the application and upgrade it further. She is also contemplating on developing a dictionary for the Kashmiri language. Says I he young woman firmly. "I want to contribute to my motherland by staying right here. I do not want lo move out of Kashmir, either to study or to work."
