The JK Paper Mills Limited has come forward for infrastructure development of a school here.
Recently, an Upper Primary school building was constructed at Badachandili by JK Paper Mills and handed over to the Education Department of Rayagada. The building was inaugurated by Collector and District Magistrate PK Behera in presence of DPC Anasthesia Kerketa, BDO Rajendra Majhi, BDO, Panchayat Samiti Chairman P Ramulu, ZP member P Gouri Shankar, among others.
The school is provided with all kinds of facilities like meeting hall and computer room to facilitate smart class and a unique hostel.
The dignitaries applauded the pro-people activities of JK Paper Mills towards the development of the peripheral villages. PK Suri, Executive Vice President, narrated about JKPM’s social responsibility and attention for the growth of education. Collector Behera advised the students not only to perform well in education but also to be physically fit and healthy.
“JK’s effort in making the primary education smart and qualitative is certainly appreciable. They also need to look into the staff deficit and chip in till the Government fills up the gap. A few other initiatives like this should be taken up by JK to set a model in Rayagada. Other corporates must follow JK,” said Professor Rama Chandra Pattanaik, a well-known educationist of the region.
