Jammu:TDD,The Chenab Gunners of the Indian Army’s Crossed Sword Division have successfully installed a Thin Client-based Computer Lab at Govt High School, Kanheri, located in the Chowki Choura zone. This significant development aims to provide students in the remote area with access to modern computer-based education, enhancing their learning opportunities and bridging the digital divide.
The initiative, which is part of the Indian Army’s Sadbhavna (Goodwill) program, underscores the Army’s commitment to improving educational standards in underserved regions. With rapid technological advancements, computer literacy has become a crucial skill for students to thrive in today’s fast-paced world. The newly inaugurated lab will play a pivotal role in offering quality education in computer and empowering the future generation in Kanheri and surrounding villages.
Prior to the installation of the computer lab, the school lacked any computer facilities, making it difficult for students to gain exposure to modern educational tools. The introduction of the computer lab has already brought a sense of joy and excitement among the students and teaching staff. The facility is expected to significantly enhance the educational experience and foster greater interest in learning.
The inauguration ceremony, held on 02 December 2024, was graced by dignaritirs from civil administration including SDM, Chowki Choura. The event was also attended by teaching staff and members of the Village Education Committee.
The ceremony was formally inaugurated by Chenab Gunners Brigade of Crossed Sword Division in presence of SDM Chowki Choura, who cut the ribbon to mark the occasion. The Headmaster of the school delivered a vote of thanks, expressing gratitude to the Indian Army for their generous contribution towards the school’s development. A tea gathering followed the ceremony, allowing the attendees to interact and share their appreciation for the initiative.
This installation reflects the Indian Army’s ongoing efforts to support the educational development of communities in remote areas. The Army’s role in fostering goodwill and strengthening relationships with local populations continues to be a cornerstone of its outreach efforts, with a particular focus on improving the quality of life for students in rural and far-flung areas.
With the increasing role of technology in education and daily life, the Indian Army remains committed to providing the necessary tools and resources to ensure that the next generation is well-prepared to meet the challenges of the future.TDD
