Tameer-e-Millat Model School for Girls
Chak # 20, Gagh, Tehsil Shorkot, Distt. Jhang


Wavering our flag in district Jhang

Among the oldest districts and having rich cultural background, Jhang is a fast developing district of Punjab province. Covering an area of 8,809 sq.km, district Jhang is subdivided in to Chiniot, Jhang and Shorkot tehsils.

Shorkot was given the status of tehsil in 1861. “Shorkot” is emerged from “Shor,” meaning saline and water logging. This name was given due to its barren and devoid land. But the problem was resolved and a new irrigation system was introduced by the government. According to which a network of cemented canals was spread throughout the District Jhang. Now Shorkot is the biggest wheat growing tehsil of Jhang.

Consisting of mainly the poor community of peasants, the district population is confined to the old traditions of feudal lords. The deep rooted feudal system has paved the way downhill to the country. Absolutely against the education, the history is evidence of stories of such feudal lords who have suppressed those who raised their voice for education. Comprised of 2 million population, district Jhang has as low as 37 percent literacy rate.

Changing the mindset
Then came the turn around when the son of soil, Dr. Shams Uddin Rana who is currently doing his pulmonary medicine practice in Binghamton, NY took the initiative during his student age to help the community in getting the government owned land and established one primary school for girls and boys each. Besides sheer difficulties he faced, his persistent efforts and commitment to his mission has made it possible to change the mind set of people of the area.

Girls' education - a lifeline to development
For an educated woman might have the chance of healthier and happier life should have a reason enough for promoting girls' education. However there are important benefits associated with her education for the society as a whole. Keeping the same idea in mind, Dr. Shams Uddin Rana has taken the initiative and donated one acre land to Tameer-e-Millat Foundation in his native village, Chak # 20, Gagh, 20km away from Shorkot city for the establishment of Tameer-e-Millat Model School for Girls. The construction & operational responsibilities of the school will be managed by TMF.

Education scenario of the backward village like Gagh where women are deprived of their right to education, there is a dire need to establish such an institute that focuses on the female education for provision of all the educational needs under one roof.

Tameer-e-Millat Model School will provide education to girls upto higher secondary level. The school will be the best of its kind in providing the modern educational requisites like library, science, computer and home economics laboratories as well as sports facilities. As the school will be located in a distant locality, out side the city, so provision of transport for the female teachers will be the added value.
