PROPOSAL FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS, BUSINESS ACCOUNTING AND MULTILINGUAL DTP CENTRE

AT BHALESSA

Under the scheme of NCPUL Govt of India

ABOUT BHALESSA:

Bhalessa is located in northern most state of Jammu and Kashmir. It has umpteen number of roots to reach the desired destination. Full of awe aspiring mountains and having a huge potential of tourism industry here, The narrow road snaked its way through towering slopes, throwing up enormous clouds of dust. It passed by little hamlets, comprising a couple of houses built around pagoda-shaped mosques and box-like temples with sloping roofs made of corrugated iron Bhalessa is known for traditional communal hormony.Owing to the commitment and mutual understanding of the Hindu Muslim secular heritage the nefarious designs has been wiped and local inhabitants diverted their attention towards the higher objectives. Bhalessa has a rich history. The area derived its name from its people “Bhalay Loug” (The right people with right destiny)- The people working and inhibiting without any political mileage.The two communities continue to live together in the same towns and villages in relative peace, beside the fissiparous tendencies of nefarious designs prevalent here.Bhalessa is full of meadows popularly known as Dhar like Kanthi, Soin Bhagar, Roharhi, Dagan, Bal Padri, etc. the area is mountainous, it has umpteen number of trekking routes which pass through places with unbelievable captivating scenic beauty.

The place is a comfortable base for trekkers and mountaineers, on their way to the Great Himalayas By road, bus services from Doda connect Bhalessa. The nearest railhead is 119 km away at Jammu. Tiny patches of wheat and mustard, like patchwork quilts, straddled the edge of the stream that rushed down from the snow-capped peaks in the distance with an irrepressible passion to merge into the Chenab beyond. Children played cricket on improvised pitches on patches of land left fallow or lazed around on conical haystacks.Weather-beaten Bakkarwal men, with their hennaed beards and loosely wound turbans, led flocks of hairy mountain goats. Their children and womenfolk followed after them, driving mules laden with pots, pans and bedding their mobile homes. The perfect picture of serenity.Bhalessa is one of the most remote and inaccessible parts of Doda. Straddling the border with Chamba in Himachal Pradesh, it has a Muslim majority, with a Hindu minority of a little more than a third of the population.The history of Bhalessa and Bhaderwah dates back to 200 B.C. When the revered Buddhist scholar Nagsena was invited to a discussion by king Mender in his palace at Sakla.Kishtwar.In the discussions Nagsena replied all the questions of the king who then embraced Buddhism and became king Milinda. Nagsena recorded the discussion in “Millinda Panha” a Pali Treatise on the fundamental principles of Buddhist philosophy.The Islamic faith entered the region of Bhalessa as a spiritual and moral force, when Alhaj Ab. Gani sadiqi invited the people and familiarised them of the faith. The principality of Bhaderwah Bhalessa was distributed into 15 tharas or administrative units. The total area of Jagir (including Bhalessa etc) was 533 sq.miles which after amalgamation with Udhampur district in 1931 was reduced to 213 sq.miles only. The earliest mention of the place is traced from Rajatarangni around (1112-28 A.D.)On the recommendations of Private Domain Assimilation Committee, the status of Bhadarwah ended in 1930 A.D. Consequently Bhadarwah became a tehsil of Udhampur District in 1931. After establishment of District Headquarter Doda, Bhadarwah was made a tehsil of this District including Bhalessa as a Niabet. Consequent upon reorganization of District and Tehsils, Naibat Thathri and Niabat Bhalessa of Bhadarwah Tehsil also became full fledged Tehsils in 1981. Tehsil Thathri and Tehsil Gandoh were carved out of

Sub- Division Bhaderwah. District Doda had one Sub-District Ramban, two Sub-Divisions namely Kishtwar and Bhaderwah.While Ramban and Kishtwar have been upgraded as Districts, Tehsil Bhalessa has been upgraded as Sub– Division. This way there again remain two Sub-Divisions i.e. Bhaderwah and Gandoh with three Tehsils namely Bhaderwah, Gandoh and Thathri in District Doda. As such, in any case one Sub-Division is to have two Tehsils while the other will remain Sub-Division for one Tehsil. It may be in place to mention that the distance from Thathri to Gandoh is only 30 Kms whereas distance from Thathri to Bhaderwah is around 60 Kms. Moreover, one has to first reach Khillani or Pul – Doda and then take another transport for going to Bhaderwah, causing inconvenience to the public.The motorable road from Thathri to Gandoh is in the process of up gradation which when completed, will make road journey from Thathri to Gandoh shorter and more convenient as compared to journey to Bhaderwah. Thus, on the basis of contiguity and administrative convenience Tehsil Thathri is in closer proximity to Gandoh than Bhaderwah and it will be in the larger interests of the public of Tehsil Thathri that it is made part of new Sub-Division Gandoh.Another demand received by the Committee during its visit to the area pertains to attachment of eleven villages of Patwar Halqas Patnazi and Jawalapur commonly known as Bunjawa with Tehsil Thathri after their detachment from Tehsil Kishtwar on the ground of proximity of the area and convenience of the people. Several projects has been taken by the government like Kahara Jai Road approved with sum of Rs. 20.78 crore under the Central Road Fund (CRF) Scheme for construction of 16 km long village road (3.75 m wide) with Retaining wall from Kahara Jai Road up to Village Jaurn. This road will connect village Kahara in Bhalessa area with Jai in Bhaderwah passing through the villages of Gugara, Malanu, Bithola, Bagdair, Halaran, Jooda and Shamdalian before entering the picturesque meadows of Jai in Bhaderwah thus opening up avenues of development for people of all these villages.

EDUCATIONAL PROFILE OF BHALESSA:-

Gone the days are when improvised the regions like Bhalessa testified the educational face threatening. There is change in the

sphere of right of the education of elementary to the highest and technical sectors. Once, the education was rare, there was only one primary school in Kalgoni Bhalessa where has been enrolled to get the education in the rare people. Ghulam Rasool Azad and Munshi Mahomet Anwer were the first to get the education of this primary school. Munshi and Azad Munshi Sahibs have studied to the Government’s primary school in Kilhotran and have been sent then to Bhaderwah for the supplementary studies. For the meantime the region appeared full of enthusiasm and clothed to education of the recieve started with the state and center

NGO National Students Welfare Association Bhalessa is having its big contribution for setting up of an IGNOU Special study centre in Bhalessa and putting forth the demand for setting up of Government Degree College at Kilhotran. 

On the other hand, In the summer of 1996, a few NGOs got together to think of ways in which they could play a role in the development of education in hilly terrain of Bhalessa Doda of J&K state. These young people shared the belief that education is a critical requisite and an effective catalyst for social and economic change in the area. Educational awareness became the agenda for the action group that emerged from this gathering, to represent the hope that had brought these individuals together and the hope that they aimed to bring into the lives of youth of the area.

The organization like Kohistan Association headed by Ghulam Hussain Bhall, National Students Welfare Association and NHRD Society headed by Basharat Hussain Malik managed free education camps for the students who were unable to perceive their education. The camps were hghly endorsed by local scholarly community like Shoket Ali Mattoo and Noor ul Hassan Wani. 

As far as primary education is concerned, there are two separate educational zones controlled by ZEO Gandoh covering all area of Gandoh, Neeli, Dudwar, Gowari, Jitota upto Khaljugasar Panchayat, and ZEO Bhatyas covering areas like Malanoo, Kahara, Jakyas upto halaran village.

On being prompted by the Tehsil Administration and Sub Divisional Megistrate Bhalessa, students and teachers of all these Institutions share a single table on the eve of Independence Day celebrations where they deliver patriotic speeches.As per the preliminary survey conducted by local NGO-National Students´ Welfare Association (NSWA) Bhalessa, there are Several schools wherein the students have to stay under open air to get education. Some such schools are either having no building or damaged infrastructure.

Ironically, The Government Middle School in Manoie Bhatyas is the testimony of the state of sorry affairs as the students has to stay under the lap of nature to get instructions from their teachers. The school building is totally damaged and students in a bad weather conditions have to leave their studies. In summer it becomes difficult for innocent poor children to stay in the school owing to the inadequate infrastructure like buildings.

The infrastructure of the most of these schools is in a bad shape. Some schools are without buildings and some are lacking teachers.

Very recently, the government under the leadership of the then Chief Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad and Mohammed Sharief Niaz MLA Bhaderwah sanctioned one Degree College at Kilhotran, that too is confronting inadequate infrastructure facilities like accommodation, the college is being run from single or two rooms vacated by Government Higher secondary school kilhotran, and finally the school has become prey of inadequate infrastructure forcing the students to sit in an open air.

MADERSA EDUCATION There is an unprecedented growth in the Madarasahs owing to which the students are graduated at the pattern of Dar ul Uloom Deoband of Utter Pradesh. The unique feature of these Madarasahs is that they focus on Inter community relations.  What is interesting is that donations and frequent visits by local Hindu’s to these Madarasahs.

Interestingly, the number rose to 12 in an inaccessible area of Bhalessa including Thathri. Besides nurturing the Islamic clerics from these Madarasahs including Hafiz and Ulema, these institutions

seemed increasingly imparting modern education also at the pattern of other government schools under the ambit of the state government.  

INTRODUCTION :

The contribution of rural youth and Urdu speaking populace to the society and the economy is well known. If given proper opportunity and encouragement, they have the potential to excel in every field.

However, a lot remains to be done to understand women’s needs and development of appropriate products for the benefit of rural populace. In order to meet the specific needs of skill upgradiation and competence development, the National Students Welfare Association Nagrota Jammu has formulated G R Azad college of Hr. Education BHALESSA. The Preliminary survey of the NGO in BHALESSA reveal that the there are so many villages and hamlets in the area having less rather no access to education and technology mission or any other community skill upgradiation programme.

The NGO find it worthwhile to approach NCPUL for the setting up of Computer Applications, Business Accounting and Multilingual DTP Centre at this place.

HISTORY OF NSWA: NSWA was set up in 2003 IN BHALESSA is a non-profit making voluntary organization registered under Societies Registration Act 1961.

It was in the summer of 2002, a few students of Jammu University led by Mr. Sadaket Malik and others got together to think of ways in which they could play a role in the development of education in J&K state.

These young people shared the belief that education is a critical requisite and an effective catalyst for social and economic change in the area. Basic education became the agenda for the action group that emerged from this gathering.

The group was named NSWA to represent the hope that had brought these individuals together and the hope that they aimed to bring into the lives of youth of the area. In that summer of 2002, mission was born at University of Jammu J&K.
