In Lahuria Dah village of Mirzapur district, the long-awaited construction of an upper primary school has finally begun
On Wednesday, the Mirzapur district administration said the proposal for upgradation of Lahuria Dah Primary School had been sent during 2024-25 and approved by the state project director in 2025-26. Rs 25.58 lakh has been sanctioned for construction of the upper primary school, according to an official statement. The administration said the sub-divisional magistrate of Lalganj had made available 0.169 hectares of land for the project and that the sanctioned amount had already been transferred to the school management committee.
Mittal said she approved the proposal after examining the rules, but alleged that even after three years, the school had not been built. LUCKNOW: Construction of an upper primary school in Lahuria Dah village of Mirzapur district has begun, a day after former IAS officer Divya Mittal highlighted the project’s delay while announcing her entry into politics. In a video released on Tuesday, Mittal recounted an incident from her tenure as Mirzapur district magistrate, when a woman from the remote village requested a school offering education beyond Class V instead of seeking personal benefits.
The land earmarked for the school was measured and demarcated in the presence of officials, while the construction will be supervised by primary school headmaster Ganga Shankar Ojha.
