Villagers demand restoration of secondary school approval for Chhara village

Villagers of Chhara village in Kodinar taluka of Gir Somnath district have demanded the restoration of the approval for a secondary school in the village. For this purpose, the villagers gathered and submitted a memorandum addressed to the Education Minister at the Kodinar Mamlatdar office.

According to a report by Sandesh, Chhara village was granted approval for a secondary school on 01/04/2026. However, subsequently on 14/10/2026, it was decided to cancel this approval and allocate the school to Nagadla village, which has led to significant resentment and dissatisfaction among the parents and villagers.

In the memorandum, the villagers represented that there is a higher population of backward classes in Chhara village. If there is no secondary school in the village, children will have to travel to other villages after completing primary education. This could adversely affect the education of children from economically and socially weak families.

The villagers have demanded an impartial inquiry into the reasons behind the cancellation of the school's approval. Additionally, they have requested certified copies of the opinions of the officials involved in this decision and the government documents, as well as the restoration of the previous approval. The villagers clarified that they have no opposition to Nagadla village and that children there should also receive education, but it is necessary for the government to clarify the reasons for cancelling the approval for Chhara village.
