Hence, Army authorities at Samote went about to do the needful for the students. Army officials said that the school authorities and the villagers in the area approached the unit with a requisition of providing assistance and seating facilities for their students. Acceding to their request Army provided the furniture and distributed to the Government Middle School, Kha No-2, Tehsil Kotranka for the betterment in educational standards of underprivileged students in the remote area. On the occasion, Officiating Commanding Officer handed over the furniture and utility items to the Headmaster of Government Middle School, Kha No-2. The villagers and the School authorities appreciated the efforts of the Army in contributing furniture and utility items to the school for overcoming the shortage of seating facilities and smooth conduct of their studies.
The distribution function was attended by a large gathering of villagers and other prominent persons of the area. A small cultural programme was presented by the students of the school. The Officiating Commanding Officer, Rashtriya Rifles interacted with the students and motivated them to work hard in studies for a bright future in this competitive world. He also assured them that Army is determined in its efforts to give an impetus in improving the educational standards of the students in remote villages of the area.
