Indian Army Rebuilds School and Community Facilities Along Uttarakhand Border

The Indian Army has rebuilt a primary school at Gunji in Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh district near the India-China border, which had closed in 1995 due to migration. Under 'Operation Sadbhavana,' the army spent Rs 12 lakh on the school, where soldiers currently teach eight enrolled children. The initiative also includes constructing a cultural centre at Dharchula for the Rung community, renovating a library near the Rung Cultural Museum, building a community hall in Darma valley, and adding facilities like toilets and a library in nearby villages. The school’s continued operation awaits state education department approval.
