CM Sukhu allocates Rs 2 crore for new school building in remote Rampur, Himachal Pradesh

Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu disclosed a government allocation of two crore rupees for the construction of a new school building in Rampur, a remote village in Himachal Pradesh. The funding is part of the state’s effort to improve educational infrastructure in underserved areas.

The existing school in Rampur has long struggled with inadequate classrooms and dilapidated facilities, prompting local residents to request better amenities. The announced investment will cover the erection of a modern structure equipped with essential classrooms, a library and basic sanitation facilities.

State officials said the project will be executed through the Education Department’s rural development scheme, with construction expected to commence in the coming weeks. Once completed, the new building aims to enhance learning conditions for the village’s children and reduce dropout rates.

The allocation reflects the Himachal government’s broader commitment to uplift education in hilly and hard‑to‑reach regions, aligning with recent initiatives to bridge the urban‑rural gap in schooling standards.
