Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has made a generous donation of Rs 1 crore for the construction of a new school building in a remote border area of Jammu and Kashmir. The new building has been named after his late father, Hari Om Bhatia, as a tribute to his memory.
Donation for Education in Remote Area
The actor contributed the funds to build a school in the Machil sector of Kupwara district, which is located near the Line of Control (LoC). The area is known for its challenging terrain and harsh weather conditions, making access to quality education difficult for local children.
The school building, now named 'Hari Om Bhatia Memorial School', will provide better infrastructure and learning facilities for students. This initiative is part of Akshay Kumar's ongoing efforts to support education and welfare in underprivileged regions.
A Tribute to His Father
Akshay Kumar, whose real name is Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia, named the school after his father to honor his legacy. In a statement, the actor expressed his gratitude for being able to contribute to the education of children in such a remote area and hoped that the school would inspire young minds.
The actor has been actively involved in philanthropic activities, including supporting the families of martyred soldiers and providing aid during natural disasters. This latest donation underscores his commitment to social causes.
Reaction from Local Authorities
Local officials and school authorities have welcomed the donation, stating that it will significantly improve educational opportunities in the region. The new building is expected to accommodate more students and provide a safe learning environment.
The school serves children from several nearby villages, and the new infrastructure will help reduce dropout rates and encourage higher enrollment. The community has expressed deep appreciation for Akshay Kumar's generosity.
