Himachal Degree Colleges to Adopt Schools: A Path to Shared Development

The Himachal Pradesh government mandates public degree and Sanskrit colleges to adopt nearby government schools, sharing human and infrastructure resources, in alignment with a new initiative led by the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu administration. The collaboration aims to enhance education quality through shared facilities and community support.

The Himachal Pradesh government has initiated a progressive educational collaboration by instructing all public degree and Sanskrit colleges to adopt government schools within their vicinity. This directive is aimed at pooling human and infrastructural resources to enhance the educational experience for both college and school students.

This move follows a broader initiative launched by the Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu government that encourages ministers, MPs, and community leaders to similarly adopt schools, fostering an environment of shared responsibilities and contributions to educational development.

The Higher Education Director, Amarjit Sharma, has issued guidelines urging colleges to undertake this collaborative effort. With 89 government degree colleges and five government Sanskrit colleges in the state, the initiative is seen as a pivotal step towards educational betterment, encompassing activities like career counseling, anti-drug awareness, and professional etiquette training.
