Jammu, Feb 15 : In India, education in the rural segments is not only important to eradicate poverty and illiteracy, but also for a variety of other social, economic as well as cultural and political reasons. This was observed by former PHE Minister and MLA Marh Ch Sukhnandan Kumar today while inagurating two additional class rooms, other allied infrastructure & toilet block at Govt.High School Chattha Gurajan constructed under RMSA at the cost of Rs 35lakh.
Speaking on the occasion he said that it is important for rural people to have adequate education so that they can better understand the programs and principles of the ruling bodies and elect worthy representatives. In contemporary India, villages play an important role as segments of the national economy by producing agrarian, industrial and other goods, for national as well as international markets. But ultimately, it is the international price movement of different goods which regulates the required quantity of the commodities and their price. As such, it is quintessential to have an accurate understanding of the intricate structure of global economy and for that the rural masses need to be educated. Today’s culture is advancing fast, with the introduction and availability of different kinds of modern gadgets, both in the urban and rural sectors of India. To handle and utilize the benefits of these advanced gadgets, education is a prerequisite, he added.
The MLA said that children of our cities and the children of our villages should not be taught different things. The curricula must obviously be of the same standard. But it would be wise to recognize that the different contexts have fostered different inherent skills and abilities. Their initial upbringing would have also emphasized different skills, so they start from a different qualitative baseline. Not only are the students, but also the education environment varied. Many rural schools have less robust buildings, problems in access with seasonal variations, and less access to a range of knowledge centres even if they have great teachers, he added.
