‘State working to strengthen edu infra in tribal areas’

Minister for Revenue, Horticulture, Tribal Development and Public Grievances Jagat Singh Negi attended the annual prize distribution ceremony of Government Senior Secondary School, Kanam, as the chief guest yesterday.

In his address, Negi said the state government was continuously working to strengthen the foundational educational infrastructure in tribal and remote areas.

With a vision to improve the quality of education across the state, including in tribal districts, Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu had introduced English-medium instruction in government schools from the first grade.

This initiative aimed to ensure that government school students did not feel inferior when compared to those in private schools. Schools were being equipped with modern facilities to improve the standard of teaching, the Cabinet Minister added.
