During his visit to the Rohru Assembly constituency, Sukhu announced development projects of Rs 100.95 crore, which includes Rs 29.22 crore ultra-modern grading and state-of-the-art cold atmosphere store having a capacity of 2,031 metric tonnes (MT) upgraded from 700 MT, which will benefit horticulturalists in the region.

He said the level of education continuously declined during the tenure of the previous BJP government as they opened 900 educational and health institutions without budgetary provision just for electoral gains.

The state government is making decisions in the public interest, the positive results of which will be visible in the future soon.

He said new vocational courses would be started to ensure good education and better employment opportunities for the students.

Education Minister Rohit Thakur said the government was making efforts to strengthen the education sector.

A total of 15,000 posts of various categories have been approved in the Education Department to provide quality education, he added.

"The previous BJP government neither made any recruitment nor gave promotions as different from the scenario now," he said.
