In his Speech President of SDO Mr. Khurram Jamal Shahid said that Girls Education is a very important component which has been neglected many years especially in rural areas of Azad Kashmir. Education is the basic human right and females are deserving to observe same rights, but unfortunately our communities are mainly focusing on Male Education which is creating a negative impact on our society. We should give this basic right to girls and make them educated for a prosperous future our country.
