Early Times Report
Doda, June 24: The poor public of village Joura Kalan in Tehsil Kahara of District Doda has been facing discrimination in education sector as the lone Government Girls School Joura Kalan opened in the area about 50 years back, has not seen the attention of education authorities in terms of Up-gradation. Other similar Institutions opened in the area, namely in village Kencha, Joura Khurd, Tanta, Kahara, Nandana, Dadi Kathava etc, have been upgraded to Hr. Secondary Schools or High Schools but Government Girls School Joura Kalan has hardly been granted Middle School few years back despite the fact that there is huge strength of girl students available and more to this, there are 4 middle schools, (Middle School Kunthal, Middle School Suranga, Middle School, Budhi & Middle School Shamdlian) around Govt. Girl Middle School Joura Kalan, which can become the feeding schools in case the present Govt. Girls Middle School Joura Kalan is up-graded to Girls High School. In absence of this, the poor girls have to travel a distance of 4 to 5 kms on foot for higher education. Mostly, because of this handicap, the dropout percentage of girls has increased manifold. As per release issued here by the President Thathri Development Front, District Doda Kuldeep Kumar Rao said that there is strong resentment against the successive Governments and the authorities for this neglect & step motherly treatment. |
