Summary:
Kolkata: State Education minister Partha Chatterjee and State Urban Development minister and Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim attended the inauguration ceremony of the newly constructed A P J Abdul Kalam English Medium School at Garden Reach on Saturday. This is the first state-run English medium school to come up in the area. "Garden Reach area has some Urdu medium schools but this is the first English medium school that has come up here. The parents who cannot send their wards to private English medium schools due to high tuition fees will send their children to this state government-run school," said Hakim. Hakim brought the matter to the notice of the Chief Minister and urged her to stop work for the housing so that an English medium school can come up in the area..
