Poonch, Apr 4: The Indian Army is providing free education to deprived children in remote areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Army has started a school in the Saujian-Gagriyan region near the Line of Control.
Army officials said that when the school started, parents were charged Rs. 50 per month as tuition fees, but they later realised that residents could not afford to pay and decided to provide free education.
"We realised that people residing in this region are not so financially strong to pay the fees for the education of their children. So as a goodwill gesture, we thought of returning the fees that they have paid till now. We are returning the fees of 50 rupees that we charged per month," said Ashok Rana, Commanding Officer of 40 Rashtriya Rifles.
The Army is providing all facilities, including furniture, teaching aids, sports items and computers with accessories.
The Saujian-Gagriyan village is one of the most remote and economically underdeveloped areas in Poonch district.
Residents have thanked the Army officials for the efforts.
About 200 students are studying in the school.
