Rajouri, March 3, 2025 – A new chapter begins for the education sector in Jammu and Kashmir with the appointment of Sh. Bhawani Rakhwal as the Project Director of Samagra Shiksha JK. His arrival has sparked hope among educators, parents, and students alike, as they look forward to meaningful reforms, particularly in the way school grants are utilized to benefit students directly.The people of Rajouri, especially stakeholders in the education sector, are optimistic that under Sh. Rakhwal’s leadership, transparency and accountability will be strengthened. Many believe that grants should be used to improve student resources rather than for administrative conveniences. Of particular concern is the Doongi zone, where questions have been raised about the allocation and spending of annual grants. In response to these concerns, The Rajouri Times has called for a high-level inquiry to investigate how these funds have been utilized. Reports suggest that grants intended for student welfare may not have been used appropriately. With Sh. Rakhwal at the helm, it is hoped that a thorough review will be conducted, ensuring that funds are spent as intended—to uplift students and enhance the quality of education. Community leaders and education advocates emphasize the need for a more stringent monitoring process to uphold the integrity of the education system. Proper utilization of grants can lead to improved infrastructure, better learning environments, and ultimately, greater educational outcomes for children across the district. As Sh. Bhawani Rakhwal takes on this crucial responsibility, the people of Rajouri remain hopeful that he will bring about the much-needed reforms to ensure fairness, efficiency, and progress in the education sector. His leadership is expected to reinforce the core principles of Samagra Shiksha—equity, inclusion, and quality education for all.
