Itoo, was the chief guest on the occasion and the programme was attended by the Joint Director Education, North Kashmir; CEO Baramulla, experts from State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) and all the recently promoted headmasters of district  Baramulla.

Speaking on the occasion, Director School Education congratulated the newly promoted headmasters and encouraged them to embrace the responsibilities that come with their new role.

Furthermore, Dr. Itoo encouraged the newly promoted Headmasters to lead by example and build a positive work culture that fosters accountability, innovation, and student-centric growth.

Meanwhile, CEO Baramulla stressed on the headmasters to stay updated with departmental policies and administrative procedures to ensure smooth functioning of their respective schools.
