KS News Desk 

Srinagar, Mar 10: The Jammu and Kashmir government on Monday informed the Legislative Assembly that 17 schools in Pattan Constituency of Baramulla district were currently functioning in rented accommodations due to the non-availability of their own buildings.

Replying to a query raised by MLA Pattan Javid Riyaz, the minister Incharge School Education informed the House that the lack of land has been a primary reason for the delay in constructing school buildings in the area.

As per the written reply, out of 142 schools, only 17 schools including 11 Primary Schools and six Middle Schools do not have their own buildings.

The minister informed the House that it has sanctioned construction of two school buildings under the Samagra Shiksha scheme for the fiscal year 2024-25.

"The sanctioned schools include: Boys Middle School (BMS) Goli Pura – Construction approved at a cost of Rs 45.77 lakh and Girls Middle School (GMS) Sherabad – Construction approved at a cost of Rs 45.00 lakh," the reply reads.

The minister informed the House that new buildings for the remaining schools will be proposed under Samagra Shiksha and UT CAPEX Budget, subject to the availability of land.
