Fore word

For last two decades the state of J&K is witnessing a lot of

inclination and awareness regarding the expansion of education. The

importance of a sound and healthy system of education was a need

realized by all conscientious people. For this the proper infrastructure was

the basic requirement. It was a healthy sign that some responsible and

conscious educationists took the task seriously. The chairperson of the

institution Mrs Mumtaz-un-nisa soz, being herself an educationist was

very concerned about the need of an institution for teacher trainees fully

equipped with all the necessities to make trainees a valuable asset. She

approached all the like minded people and seasoned educationists of the

society to come forward and extend their help in this endeavor. The task

was not an easy one but the sincerity, conviction and dedication of Mrs

Mumtaz-Un-Nisa Soz and the people she approached became the basis of

the establishment of society called Society for Promotion of Culture and

Education. The result of the efforts of the team was the emergence of an

institution which would cater to the needs of the society as a whole.
