Education is a dynamic process that demands inclusiveness and participation of teachers, educationists, parents, students and associations. It is our wish to reach all the stakeholders. Though this website highlights the activities of JKBOSE, I believe it would also serve as a platform for feedback. I am happy to inform that the website will provide a space to deliberate upon vital issues of youth-the torch bearers of our future generation.
