New Delhi, April 24, 2025 — As a response to the recent terror attack that left the nation stunned and created huge fear in the minds of families, the Resident Commission of the Jammu and Kashmir Government in New Delhi set up a dedicated helpline number for students of J&K who are pursuing studies in various parts of the country.
This step has been taken as a precautionary and supportive step to provide safety and well-being to students seeking their education outside the Union Territory. The helpline is to provide round-the-clock support for grievances varying from personal security to academic and accommodation problems.
A senior official from the Resident Commission said, "After the recent tragic incidents, the government is very much committed to making our students pursuing their education in other states feel safe, secure, and heard. This helpline is a direct medium through which students and their families can seek help whenever they feel uncertain or are in a crisis."
The helpline will be an all-university contact point and will be handled by officials who have been trained to address emergencies and student complaints in a timely manner. The initiative has been greeted by students and parents alike as an essential step towards sustaining a feeling of security at a time of uncertainty.
The government has asked student bodies, colleges, and universities to take a proactive role in spreading awareness of the helpline. Complete contact details and operating procedures are likely to be announced soon through proper channels of communication.
This action reaffirms the J&K Government's intent to safeguard its youth and ensuring that education proceeds unabated despite adversity.
