Port Blair, Sept 25: The Member of Parliament of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Shri Kuldeep Rai Sharma on Friday met the Secretary Education and placed four crucial demands in front of her related to the welfare of Students.
The Member of Parliament demanded starting a second shift in JNRM, from the 2022-2023 session, so that the maximum number of students can get admission in degree programmes and study in their dream subjects in these Islands for their better future.
He pointed out that while many students can afford education in mainland colleges, most of the students of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, especially those who hail from remote villages of North and Middle Andaman as well as Nicobar District can’t afford education in mainland colleges but they are very eager to get higher education.
In his second demand the Member of Parliament requested the Secretary of Education to start two new bus routes, exclusively for girl students. One from Chatham Jetty to JNRM to ANCOL and vice versa and second from Garacharma to ANCOL to JNRM and vice versa.
In his third demand the Member of Parliament requested to open more playgrounds for children and youths of Andaman and Nicobar Island under Khelo India initiative, so that children and youths can remain mentally and physically fit.
The Member of Parliament also demanded to start an exclusive boarding school for Children With Special Needs (CWSN) so that they can get special care and proper education from expert educators of CWSN children.
He also requested the Secretary of Education to fill up four posts of Assistant Director (sports) which are lying vacant, through deputation.
