Work started on construction of Al-Amyn Girls Hostel Gulmit
PT Report
Gulmit, January 19: The community of Gulmit, Tehsil Headquarters of Gojal valley, today started levelling of ground for construction of a Al-Amyn Girls Hostel. The ground-breaking ceremony was held in presence of hundreds of men, women and young people of the disaster hit village.
According to details, the United Stated Agency for International Development (USAID) has provided around 9.1 million rupees as grant for construction of the hostel, through National Rural Support Programme (NRSP).
The project is being implemented by Gulmit Educational and Social Welfare Society, the organization behind Al-Amyn Model School.
On completion the hostel will be able to host up to 40 female students from across the region in a purpose-built building.
The need for construction of this hostel was being felt for long as female students from the Gojal valley were forced to go to distant cities and towns in pursuit of quality secondary level education.
It is pertinent to note that the community of Gulmit has provided land, worth 2 million rupees, for construction of the hostel. Total cost of the project has been estimated at around 10.2 million rupees.
A very good initiative for the development of the female folk and especially the young girls.I hope to see the great Nargis transforming into a centre of excellence for educational and cultural promotion.I am proud of the devoted and committed community members who have been playing a constructive role in the development of education and health for the young generation.A veryvisionary community with the value added traits of constructive.Best Regards.Aslam Ghalib

This initiative was most needed. Congrts to the school magt and thanks to all those who put their resources into this vital project.
Congratulate for this great work but do we know that we are doing nothing for our Boys I mean those who doesn’t have the opportunity to continue their studies in Huna, Gilgit or another cities of Pakistan, we have the one and only Aga khan school in Gilgit which is only for those who have approach to get there or only few students form poor people can go there, rest we are still sending our kids to Karachi just for nothing coz there is no choices. Shah Karim Hostel was the only hope for the poor population of GB but now that is only for those people how have handsome money to pay and who is studding in Higher secondary School this was not the aim of Shah Karim Hostel I guess . Is this our beloved Imam’s vision? That education for some people.
“The happiest people are those who think the most interesting thoughts. Those who decide to use leisure as a means of mental development, who love good music, good books, good pictures, good company, good conversation, are the happiest people in the world. And they are not only happy in themselves, they are the cause of happiness in others.”
I personally Congratulate You all Particpant for devoting your time, resources and showing good response to the people of Gojal. I hope that the fund will be utilized in the best manner and Inshallah our Dream will come true in the future in the shape of Gojal University. I want thanks to all the persons whom I know very welland indeed they did their job well done.
