POONCH, July 11: Shamsher Hakla Poonchi a prominent Gujjar leader and intellectual of J&K, said that the Gujjars Bakarwals of J&K are divided into three tribes settled, Half Settled and Unsettled Nomadic.
The needs and the problems, the language and culture of Gujjar Bakarwal tribe are quite different from other communities of J&K, that is why this tribe has its own peculiar position and it has its own identity, customs and a unique way of life. Gujjar Bakarwal tribes are educationally, economically, socially and politically backward.
Hakla said that the Half settled and unsettled tribes of Gujjar Bakarwal people along with their belongings, families and cattles goes to the heights of hills and mountains (Dhoks) of J&K as there they can have sufficient grazing fields for their cattles/animals. There they live for about six months of summer season; every year.
He said that the many years ago, the government of J&K had opened mobile schools for the children of Gujjar Bakarwal tribes and those schools had to stay at these places where Gujjar Bakarwal people resides during the six months of summer season so that these children could get proper education and during winter season, these mobile schools had to move down the plains where Gujjar Bakarwal tribe resides during winter season.
Unfortunately, nowadays many mobile schools do not move with these tribes during summer season, because of which the education of the children of Gujjar Bakarwals tribe have to suffer.
Many mobile schools have been converted to stationary schools of J&K government and nowadays only few mobile schools are left.
Hakla said that the people of Half-settled and unsettled tribes of Gujjar Bakarwal are living a life of difficulty and their children are lagging behind in the field of education and do not proceed forward in the field of development along with other sections of society. The benefits of education and other government schemes have not reached them.
He urged Lieutenant Governor of J&K Union Territory Manoj Sinha to frame strong policy for ensuring the proper functioning of mobile schools in Jammu and Kashmir for Half-settled and unsettled nomadic people of Gujjar-Bakarwal tribes.
He also urged government of India for opening of boarding schools on pattern of Navodya Vidalya for Gujjar-Bakarwal girls and boys students in all districts of J&K Union-Territory.
Hakla also demanded to government of India for establishing a tribal university in J&K for Gujjar Bakarwal students of J&K. |
