Different from routine, on Monday students and teachers from a private school entered the J&K Legislature complex.
The students had asked the assembly secretariat to allow its students watch proceedings of the Lower House.
Welcoming the teachers and students of Burn Hall Higher Secondary School Srinagar, Speaker Kavinder said, “it was a great day for them.”
Since grants to Education sector were debated in the lower house, students from government run schools have been routinely attending both houses of the legislature and witness “dance of the electoral democracy”.
So far, students from Kothibagh Girls Higher Secondary, IUST Awantipora and Law students from University of Kashmir attended the Lower House and were witness to debates, deliberations and fights inside the law-making houses.
Notable to mention here, officials while detailing the procedure said that a school, college or a University is supposed to approach the Assembly Secretariat with a formal letter if it intends to send its students to watch the proceedings.
“The procedure is simple but slots are less because many such applications have been received,” an official said, “it is up to assembly secretariat which gives a date and then students are allowed entry inside the assembly complex.”
