Kashmiri Entrepreneur Arifa Minds Her Business In The Valley

Read these features to get an idea
of what Women's Feature Service articles are like. WFS features don't merely report news: They examine the context - why and how events take place;
the people, their social milieu and the developments that affect them.
WFS holds up a magnifying glass to focus on small but significant symptoms of social change.
Whether it is going behind the news or providing a micro-level understanding or
standing back and taking a wide-angle view, WFS features give a
fresh perspective to readers.
