In a significant step toward promoting education in remote areas, a new girls’ school has been inaugurated in Arunachal Pradesh’s Upper Subansiri district, close to the India-China border. The school, located in the picturesque but challenging terrain of Chomi village, aims to empower young girls by providing accessible, quality education in a region where infrastructure is often limited.
The initiative, driven by the state government in collaboration with local authorities, addresses the educational needs of girls in border areas, where access to schools has historically been a challenge due to geographical isolation and harsh weather conditions. The school is equipped with modern facilities, including classrooms, a library, and residential quarters for students and teachers, ensuring a conducive learning environment.
Speaking at the inauguration, state officials emphasized the importance of education in fostering development and gender equality. “This school is not just a building; it’s a beacon of hope for the girls of this region, who will now have the opportunity to pursue their dreams,” said a senior official. The project also aligns with India’s broader efforts to strengthen infrastructure and human development along its sensitive border regions.
Local residents have welcomed the initiative, expressing optimism about its impact on the community. The school is expected to serve students from nearby villages, reducing the need for long, arduous journeys to access education. Additionally, it will create employment opportunities for local teachers and staff, further boosting the regional economy.
This milestone reflects Arunachal Pradesh’s commitment to inclusive growth and education, particularly for girls in underserved areas, while reinforcing the state’s strategic focus on development near the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
