Education Minister Rohit Thakur opens school, lays stone of projects in Jubbal-Kotkhai
Shimla, March 1
Education Minister Rohit Thakur today laid the foundation stone and inaugurated projects worth crores during his one-day visit to the Jubbal-Kotkhai Assembly constituency.
Thakur performed ‘bhoomi pujan’ for road improvement and upgrade project, which will be constructed at a cost of Rs 4 crore in the Garavag panchayat of Kotkhai.
He also inaugurated the newly-constructed building of Government Senior Secondary School, Jauni, constructed at a cost of Rs 1.2 crore.
Addressing people on the occasion, Thakur said the government was trying to provide high-quality education in the state. “Working in this direction, vacant posts of teachers are being filled in a phased manner,” he said.
He added that in view of future challenges, the state government was working towards improving the quality of education to provide world-class opportunities to students.
“The state government has taken many such decisions last year, which have led to improvement in the quality of education,” he claimed.
The Education Minister also laid the foundation stone of the building of Primary Health Centre to be constructed at a cost of Rs 1.78 crore in the Tharola gram panchayat.
Thakur said the construction of the building would help in providing better health services to people of the area at their doorstep.
Taking a pot shot at the BJP, Thakur said that the previous BJP government could not do anything for developing the area. “It did not provide any kind of relief to the state during the monsoon disaster but is trying to destabilise the government,” he said.
