Earlier, only disappointing news of bombs, kidnappings & separation used to come from Jammu and Kashmir, but now Jammu and Kashmir is developing and moving forward” he added
India has the most recordable number of schools, colleges & universities established in India in the last 10 years of the BJP government! In J & K alone, 50 new degree colleges were set up by the central government.
“There was a time when schools were burnt with violence & extreme terrorism, today schools are being decorated. Today, health facilities are improving rapidly in Jammu and Kashmir. Before 2014, there were 4 medical colleges in Jammu and Kashmir with the least amount of interest in infrastructure of these colleges, now there are 12 medical colleges with high facilities” PM Modi added as he spoke up on education improvising under his guidance.
