JAMMU: The Director School Education Jammu, Dr. Naseem Javaid Chowdhary, has extended warm and heartfelt greetings to the students, teaching community and all staff members of the Jammu Division on the joyous occasion of Christmas.

In his message, Chowdhary reflected on Christmas as more than a date on the calendar—calling it “a season that reminds us of compassion as duty, service as faith and education as the most enduring act of love we can offer society.”

He lauded teachers for being the silent architects of character, students for carrying tomorrow in their satchels and the supporting staff for being the unseen scaffolding on which institutions stand.

The Director noted that the spirit of Christmas resonates deeply with the ethos of education—patience, sacrifice and belief in renewal. He expressed hope that the festival would usher in peace, mutual respect and renewed commitment towards learning and inclusive growth across schools of the Jammu Division. He wished everyone good health, joy and a year ahead guided by wisdom, unity and purpose.
