Ironically, the newly established Government Degree College at Kilhotran Bhalessa in Jammu and Kashmir is the testimony of the state of sorry affairs as the students has to stay under the lap of nature to get instructions from their teachers. The college is functioning from two small rooms of Government Higher Secondary School Kilhotran and students in a bad weather conditions have to leave their studies. In summer it becomes difficult for innocent students to stay in the college owing to the inadequate infrastructure like building. Historically, the tattering educational affairs have been altered in the area after G R Azad era. The people seemed interested to access the rural information centres in this hilly terrain, and were shaped by the then Director Education Ghulam Rasool Azad who belongs from the region. Packed with outstanding achievements, Ghulam Rasool Azad left no stone unturned to revamp the education system of the area. As ill luck would have it this legendary man not remained among the people. Gone are the days when students of these areas especially of Ramban, Banihal and Bhalessa have to go for higher studies in cities colleges and universities, The education was acute, there was scarcity of colleges at local level thereby leading the women strata to stop their studies upto intermediate levels. As per the preliminary survey conducted by local NGO-National Students’ Welfare Association (NSWA) Bhalessa, there are dozen of schools and Degree college at Kilhotran Bhalessa wherein the students have to stay under open air to get education. Some such schools are either having no building or damaged infrastructure. The state government should wake up to provide necessary infrastructure to these institutions of the area.
