Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur on Thursday inaugurated the newly established Government Girls Degree College in Tehsil Bara, Khyber district.
Speaking on the occasion, CM-KP highlighted the sacrifices of the tribal people, emphasizing that their contributions have yet to receive proper recognition.
“A time will come when the whole country will acknowledge the sacrifices of the tribal population,” he stated.
Gandapur criticized the federal government for not releasing funds allocated for the merged districts, compelling the provincial government to finance ongoing development projects in the region from its resources.
“The development of merged districts and the provision of facilities remain a top priority,” he assured, adding that efforts are underway to bring these areas on par with developed regions.
According to an official statement, the newly inaugurated college, spread over 45 kanals, was completed at a cost of Rs 279 million. With a capacity of 500 students, 263 have already enrolled.
The facility boasts an academic block, administration block, examination hall, hostels, staff accommodations, playgrounds, parking, and a 30KVA solar system.
The Chief Minister emphasized the importance of women’s education, declaring it a cornerstone of the government’s development agenda.
“Educated mothers are the guarantors of an educated nation. By investing in our girls, we are creating future assets for the country,” he said, encouraging young women to seize opportunities and showcase their talents.
During his visit, Gandapur also announced upgradation of Category D Hospitals in Dogra and Jamrud, establishment of a nursing college in the district, free solar systems for 30,000 families in merged districts and early completion of the Peshawar Bara Road and resolution of land compensation for Nogazi Road through a jirga.
The Chief Minister reiterated his commitment to improving healthcare and education in merged districts, directing strict action against negligent staff in educational and medical institutions.
He also called on the federal government to increase the quota for tribal districts in medical colleges.
Gandapur expressed optimism about ongoing development efforts, assuring residents of a brighter future.
“The tribal areas will soon witness positive changes as we implement our comprehensive development plan,” he said.
