Himachal Education Revamp: CM Sukhu Appoints Special CBSE Instructors
On Sunday, Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu said the state government is set to bring significant changes in the education policy. Special instructors for English and mathematics will be appointed in government schools transitioning to the CBSE curriculum. He said, "The recruitment process to appoint these instructors will begin soon." Sukhu addressed a public meeting after inaugurating the Gugga Dham and park, built at a cost of around INR 60 lakh, in his ancestral village Bhawran under Amlehar Gram Panchayat, amid his one-day visit to the Nadaun Assembly in Hamirpur.
He added that Amlehar School has also been granted CBSE status. "The work on the Rajiv Gandhi Day Boarding School is progressing rapidly, and classes will begin from next year. Multiple subjects will be introduced in four selected schools of the state, including Amlehar, so that children can choose the subjects of their interest," Sukhu said.
Additionally, Sukhu urged farmers to adopt natural farming, noting that the state government is providing high prices for crops grown using such methods. "The government is buying turmeric grown through natural farming at the rate of INR 90 per kg. Farmers can earn up to INR 3 lakh by cultivating turmeric on five kanals of land," he said.
He added that subsidies are being provided for setting up solar plants on barren land, with young people potentially earning a net profit of up to INR 3 lakh annually. Sukhu also said around INR 100 crore is being spent on drinking water schemes in Nadaun, with water being purified using UV and ozonation technology. Earlier, he inaugurated the Shri Vaikunth Dham and park in Pakhrol village and a statue and memorial of freedom fighter Inderpal in Nadaun town.
