A little girl from Jammu and Kashmir, Seerat Naaz, recently made a video and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to build a better school with amenities and proper infrastructure. The video, a tour of her school — the Government High School in Lohai Malhar in the Kathua district — has now gone viral.
Showing the school’s poor infrastructure, the child is heard requesting Modi to listen to her woes and build a good school so that the students can study properly. She also gave a tour of the broken floor and said her uniform gets dirty and her mother admonishes her.
The clip shared by Marmik News on Facebook shows the girl saying in Hindi, “My name is Seerat Naaz and I live in Lohai-Malhar. I want to tell you one thing. I study in the Government High School. You listen to everyone’s matters, now, listen to mine as well. Modiji, this is our school.”
She then climbs the stairs and shows the principal’s office and the staff room. She then says, “The floor has become so dirty and we are made to sit here. Please make a good school for us.” There are cracks seen on the floor as the girl takes viewers to the under-construction building adjacent to the school.
“I will show you the big building in the school. See this…for the last five years it is being built,” the girl is heard saying. She then enters the building and shows the interiors filled with dust and cement.
Documenting the grim reality, she goes to another corner and shows the state of a toilet. A heap of sand and rock is seen adjacent to a pit containing water. The little girl says that the students relieve themselves in a nearby drain. The little child repeatedly pleads with the PM to build a better school for her.
“A little girl from Lohai-Malhar (BILLAWAR )requests to Sh. Modi ji that her school should be fixed. #viral #billawar #jammukashmir,” read the caption of the clip.
Several users appreciated the young student and wished her needs to be fulfilled. A user commented, “Thank you beta , done a excellent job , Modiji will surely take care of your school.” Another user wrote, “You are brave beta. We proud of you beta.” A third user commented, “Great job beta.such a selfless demand hope your demand be heard.wish you best of luck.”
