Kishtwar, Apr 19: Several people have criticized the state government for denying Government Degree College to Padder, which is remotest areas.
"Any sane dispensation, in present day system with governments are supposed to behave as welfare state, much exercise its jurisprudence while sanctioning a degree college for a particular area during last about four years, more than 80 Degree Colleges have been opened in our state simply on pick & chose basis without any yard stick or criteria; may be mostly on the basis of political clout prevailing in the said area. To me it seems that criteria should be educational, economic & social backwardness but sadly it finds no finds no place in the minds of those at the helm of affairs", people said
"It has 32 revenue villages and all have been declared as RBA (Reserved Backward Area) because of its social, economic and educational backwardness. The poor students have to come down to District head quarter Kishtwar for higher studies after travelling 20 to 45 kilometres on foot", they said, adding under these circumstances, why no Degree College for Padder. |
