Aurangabad News: MLA Lalan Ram met Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary to discuss the expansion of higher education in the Kutumba assembly constituency. He highlighted various educational challenges in the region and demanded the establishment of three new government graduate colleges. The MLA proposed setting up one government graduate college each at High School Prachin Garh Kutumba in Aurangabad district, Ramnagar or Tandwa Panchayat in Nabinagar block, and Dulare Panchayat in Deo block.

MLA representative Saurabh Pathak explained that the Kutumba assembly constituency is a forested and hilly area bordering Jharkhand. Due to only one government graduate college in Nabinagar, students from areas like Tandwa and Ramnagar have to travel long distances for their studies. He added that the single recognized college in Kutumba cannot accommodate all students, leading many economically disadvantaged students to miss out on higher education. The opening of a college in Dulare Panchayat of Deo block would particularly benefit female students, as it is a remote rural area far from block and district headquarters.

The Chief Minister has assured necessary action on the MLA's demands, raising hopes among the local populace for college establishment.

Furthermore, MLA Lalan Ram also urged the Chief Minister to upgrade Middle School Haneya to a Girls' High School. He stated that the lack of a high school in Haneya and surrounding villages forces girls to travel 8-10 kilometers for education, causing many to drop out. He emphasized that this upgrade is crucial for promoting girls' education. The MLA reiterated the long-pending demand to upgrade Middle School Rasalpur to a high school, a matter raised multiple times in the assembly. Despite repeated proposals from block and district education officers, the upgrade has not materialized, impacting students' education in the area.
