CRPF opens school

Srinagar, August 20

The higher authorities of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) opened a school on the premises of the Recruit Training Centre (RTC) to facilitate better education opportunities to their children.

 President of welfare Community, CRPF, Pratima Srivastava said, “There was a growing concern among parents over sending their children outside the RTC premises for education due to the unrest prevailing in the Valley.”  

“Now, with a school on the RTC premises, the problem has been solved. Parents will be comfortable sending their children to a school where they are safer,” she added.

The school has hired teachers from the CRPF families to encourage their livelihood.

A parent named Pooja said, “The ambience of the school is really nice and friendly in comparison to other schools of the Valley. Our children are well treated and guided by teachers. We are really relieved about the children's safety as they remain on the centre premises.” — ANI
