Jammu Doing Better In Education Due To KP Migration: Mehbooba

Srinagar: Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti, on Saturday said the quality of education in Kashmir Valley was severely affected due to the migration of the Pandit community from the region in early 1990s.

Speaking during a function here at SKICC wherein High Density Apple Plantation was formally inaugurated by the state dispensation, the chief minister reiterated that peace is inevitable for development of Jammu and Kashmir and that it is vital that the people of Kashmir Valley should understand the essence of peace for prosperity and growth.

Mehbooba Mufti in her address stated, “it was migration of the Pandit community from Kashmir valley during the inception of militancy that quality education in this land-locked region remained a distant dream.” “Jammu region of the state is excelling in education as Pandits, who since centuries are great teachers, instilled their learning to the people of Jammu while as Kashmir valley got deprived of such noble souls and great teachers.”

“This is the reason that today we are witnessing the quality education in Jammu region flourishing while it is a herculean task to put it back on track here in Kashmir,” the chief minister said.

Mehbooba Mufti added; “I have been taught by a Pandit teacher like most of the people of our generation. I can tell you with certainty that Pandits are really the great teachers and it is their contribution to the state that it has renowned medicos, academicians and people who have proved their mettle in their respective fields.” (KNS)
