KISHTWAR: A social activist of District Kishtwar, Joginder Bhandari urged upon the Mehabooba Mufti , Chief Minister to sanction Government Degree College and ITI for Paddar which is a long pending demand of the public of the area.
Bhandari in his statement said that the public of Paddar is crying for the last two decades for opening of Degree College and ITI but the previous and present government made only promises that too during election campaigns and it is a matter of great concern that their demands remained unfulfilled despite repeated requests made by the public to the government.
He said Paddar is based on two Tehsil Headquarters that is Atholi and Machail and consists of large populated area besides every year 400 to 450 students pass 10+2 from Govt. Higher Secondary School Atholi but they have been deprived of college facility as a result of which they had to seek admission in Kishtwar college which everyone cannot afford and consequently most of the students have to give up their further studies.
Bhandari has demanded immediate starting of Govt Degree College and ITI for Paddar so that the students may not suffer any more.
