In a phenomenal move, all government schools in Jammu and Kashmir will be renamed after troopers and officers of the Indian Army, police, and CRPF personnel who have been martyred while protecting the country.
For the same, the Divisional Commissioner Jammu has written a letter to the Deputy Commissioner of Jammu, Doda, Reasi, Poonch, Rajouri, Kathua, Samba, Ramban, Kishtwar, and Udhampur districts to identify government-run schools, which can be named after the martyrs.
Earlier, a government notification on renaming J&K schools after martyrs was released last week.
The government has asked the local authorities to form a committee at the district level to prepare such details after due verification.
Likewise, the Punjab government had also announced that it has decided to rename 14 more schools in various districts of the state after freedom fighters and other renowned personalities. Back in 2019, Rajasthan had also cleared a proposal to rename 15 government schools in different districts of the state after martyrs.
