Sheikh Nasir welcomes opening of Degree College at Marwah,

Kishtwar: Youth Congress Leader Sheikh Nasir Hussain Advocate has welcomed the decision of government for opening a degree college at far flung area Marwah in district Kishtwar. In a statement issued to press Youth Congress leader has said that by setting up a degree college at Marwah the government has fulfilled the long pending demand of the people of the vast and far flung area and now the need of the hour is to sanction a college for women at Kishtwar and a degree college at Padder and Dachhan also. He said that the people of these areas were demanding opening of colleges in their areas and Youth congress has number of occasions raised the issue. He has said that it is very unfortunate that for a vast and educationally backward district with population of more than 2.5 lacs there is no college for women. Sheikh Nasir has said that in the only degree college at headquarter the roll of students is very huge and as a result a large number of girl students cannot pursue their higher studies. Youth congress leader has said that Congress has always remained serious for solving the problems of the people of this poverty stricken area and he has expressed hope that more colleges will be set up in the district in future. Besides opening of Women College at Kishtwar Sheikh Nasir has demanded that adequate staff be engaged at Govt. Degree College Chatroo and more streams should be sanctioned for the college. Youth Congress Leader has further appealed the government especially to the Higher Education Minister to sanction degree colleges at Padder and Dachhan also.
