Bandipora, Jun 17 (KNO): In a bold and transformative step towards revamping the education system in Bandipora, MLA Nizamuddin Bhat has secured a total of ₹11.05 crore under the centrally sponsored Samagra Shiksha plan.
This major allocation aims to breathe new life into the constituency's academic institutions by addressing long-pending infrastructural gaps and pushing for overall educational upliftment, a statement issued to the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO) reads.
Of the total amount, Rs 5.97 crore has been sanctioned for 79 new works in the upcoming financial year 2025–26, while Rs 5.08 crore is already being utilized for 44 works currently underway as part of the 2024–25 plan. Together, this combined investment of over eleven crore rupees is set to improve the educational landscape across the Bandipora constituency.
The funds will be directed towards critical areas such as the construction of additional classrooms, the establishment of separate toilet blocks for boys and girls, the building of protective boundary walls, and the repair and maintenance of existing school infrastructure. These interventions are intended not just to improve physical spaces but to create an environment where learning can thrive.
MLA Nizamuddin Bhat, along with other dignitaries, has been visiting schools and colleges across Bandipora to closely inspect facilities, interact with students and faculty and understand the specific needs of each institution. These visits reflect a rare sense of accountability and a sincere commitment to building a better future for the children of Bandipora.
This initiative marks the beginning of a new chapter—one where education is prioritized not in slogans but in action, and where the promise of opportunity reaches every student, regardless of location or background.
With determination on the ground and robust planning at the top, Bandipora is preparing to set an example for educational reform in the region—(KNO)
