Poonch (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], December 13: Reaffirming its commitment to equitable access to education in India's most vulnerable geographies, M3M Foundation has extended essential school infrastructure support to four government schools located along the Line of Control (LoC) in District Poonch.

Through this initiative, the Foundation has provided enhanced classroom infrastructure, digital learning tools, basic utilities, and co-curricular resourcesaddressing long-standing gaps in these institutions. These improvements are expected to boost attendance, strengthen teaching outcomes, increase digital readiness, and uplift morale among students and teachers.
