The protesting villagers raised slogans in support of their demand and said that a college for Tehsil Moungri was required for implementation of Government programme ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’.
“There are five Higher Secondary Schools feeding the tehsil and Moungri is central place but only 5 to 15 percent students, especially girls pursue the higher education due to non availability of Degree College in the tehsil,” the villagers explained and added that if a college is established in Moungri, the local girls can continue their higher education.
