Finally some focus on education in the hills. Quality schools are the need of the hour to stop migration to cities. Hope the infrastructure and teachers are of good quality. A step in the right direction.

Good initiative, but 2026-27 is a long wait. Why does it take so long to start a school? The children who need it now will have missed the opportunity. The process should be faster.

Along with the new KV, I hope they also focus on improving the existing state government schools in the area. One good school is great, but all children deserve quality education. The jugmandar hall renovation is also a nice touch for Dehradun's culture.

As someone who has visited the region, this is a crucial development. Access to consistent, central government-run education can be transformative for remote communities. The 85 new KVs nationwide plan sounds ambitious and promising.

Bahut badhiya! CM Dhami seems to be balancing development projects - education, police training, cultural heritage, and parks. A holistic approach to governance is what Uttarakhand needs. Jai Uttarakhand! 🏔️
