BHIMBER (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday laid the foundation stone of Daanish School System in Bhimber district of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
The prime minister reiterated his call for affordable and quality education for all children and said the establishment of the school was a step in this very direction.
A visibly gleeful premier said Daanish schools would be established in the other districts of Azad Jammu and Kashmir as well.
He said due to these efforts, children from far-off areas would be able to get quality education. A lot of deserving children would have remained illiterate had there been no Daanish school in the country, he said.
He said the federal government would bear all the expenses of the school.
He visited Bhimber, where he was flanked by Azad Kashmir prime minister. PM Shehbaz said on the occasion the school would have separate campuses for boys and girls.

Meanwhile, the prime minister said the state would continue to support its Kashmiri brethren, who have been living under the oppressive rule of India for decades.
