Deputy Commissioner Aashika Jain and SSP Dr Sandeep Garg inaugurated the upgraded infrastructure of Government Middle School, Bhagwanpur here today. The industry associations of Dera Bassi have collaborated with the administration to meet the infrastructural needs of Government Middle School, Bhagwanpur, and other educational institutions as well.
The DC said that three new class rooms have been constructed, five new touch-panel LEDs have been installed to transform classrooms into ‘smart classrooms’, and the tiling work has been done on the assembly grounds of the school.

After the addition of the new rooms, the total number of classrooms in the school has risen to 13, and the school administration hopes that they will soon get the status of ‘School of Happiness’ under which a grant of Rs 40 lakh would be provided by the state government to add more classrooms, office space, labs, etc. The DC said that the concept of the ‘School of Happiness’ is to provide students with more than mere job-based education and help them live a better quality and stress-free life.
