Supporting schools at the Line of Control - Payeen, Jammu & Kashmir

• These photographs have been clicked at Government Secondary School in Payeen, Jammu & Kashmir. Recently, KarmaKonnect volunteers organized a drawing and painting competition for the students of this school. The winners were presented with Milton water bottles. Such activities keep the students encouraged and motivated.

• KarmaKonnect are proud to support this school and other border area schools across J&K with stationery supplies. Help us reach out to these border area schools in conflict zones and remote regions by learning more about our initiatives and supporting us: karmakonnect.org

Project Challenges

• Extreme weather conditions make it difficult for pupils to continue their education in Jammu and Kashmir's isolated alpine terrains. These regions are also continually challenged by border security challenges. These villages serve as Bharat's first line of defence.

• Many vital stationery products and other useful things of everyday usage are not available in these remote locations. It is tough for locals to obtain all basic supplies because supply and everything else is uncertain for months at a time. As a result, children in these regions face difficulties in continuing their education. Students studying in schools near the Line of Control are the most severely affected.

• The biggest challenge has been ensuring that these students have access to all basic stationery essentials like notebook, pens/ pencils, schoolbags etc.

• Amid constant threat of conflict and war, it becomes imperative to ensure that the school going kids remain ever positive and do not give in to negativity. It becomes challenging to make sure that these kids are exposed to good values and they imbibe positive attitude towards the country and realise their responsibilities towards in Nation Building.

Results & Outcome

• A little support that they receive from us will help them meet their daily academic targest and achieve greater heights in life.
