Chief Minister Thakur Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu on Tuesday announced that the state government is set to bring major reforms in the education policy, with a special focus on strengthening foundational learning in government schools. He said that special instructors for English and Mathematics will soon be recruited for schools being brought under the CBSE curriculum, and the recruitment process will begin shortly.
The Chief Minister was addressing a public meeting after inaugurating Gugga Dham and a park, constructed at a cost of around ₹60 lakh, in his ancestral village Bhawran of Amlehar Gram Panchayat during his one-day visit to the Nadaun Assembly constituency of Hamirpur district.
CM Sukhu informed that Amlehar School has been granted CBSE status, while construction work on the Rajiv Gandhi Day Boarding School is progressing rapidly and classes will commence from next year. He added that multiple subjects will be introduced in four selected schools, including Amlehar, enabling students to choose subjects according to their interests and aptitude.

He stated that turmeric produced through natural farming is being procured at ₹90 per kg, and farmers can earn up to ₹3 lakh by cultivating turmeric on five kanals of land.
