Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur on Monday said the government is committed to make Himachal an ‘Education Hub’ of the country for which special focus is being laid on strengthening the educational infrastructure, particularly in rural areas.

Addressing a public meeting in Pangi valley of Chamba district, he said the government was ensuring that infrastructure in educational as well as health institutions was completed within stipulated time period.

He said it was heartening to know that the students of this college were excelling in education as well as extracurricular activities and competing with the students studying in college situated in urban areas.

The CM said the government was working with new zeal and commitment to come up to the expectation of the people of the state.

“The effort of the government was to make Himachal Pradesh a most developed and progressive state of the country for which whole hearted support and cooperation of the people was required,” he said.

Thakur said the Central government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi was sympathetic towards the developmental demands of the state.

“During recent untimely snow in Lahaul valley, hundreds of local and tourists got stranded there and it was due to the seven helicopters provided by the Centre that all of them were rescued safely,” he said.

Thakur said that the government would take up the matter with the Government of India to provide better connectivity to the land locked Pangi and Killar valley.

The matter regarding providing better communication connectivity in the areas would also be taken with the appropriate authority.
