JAMMU, Feb 8: Shamsher Hakla Poonchi a prominent Gujjar leader has expressed his dismay that the mobile schools which the Government has established for the nomadic Gujjars and Bakerwal students are not moving with them when they move to hilly and mountainous areas and when they return from there.
In a statement issued here, today he said the mobile schools remain stationary which kills the basic spirit of opening them.
Hakla in an appeal to Lt Governor J&K, Manoj Sinha urged him to issue strict direction to authorities to ensure that mobile schools should move with nomadic Gujjar and Bakerwals so that their children are not deprived of the benefits of education.
He said the Gujjar and Bakerwal community living in far off and hilly areas lack proper education facilities there and they face problems in schooling of their children. He demanded that the boarding schools be established for them on pattern of Navodiya Vidyalaya in order to solve their problems permanently.
