SRINAGAR: The Private Schools Association Jammu & Kashmir (PSAJK), led by President Nazrul Islam Baba, on Tuesday expressed profound gratitude to Lieutenant Governor, Chief Minister, Education Minister Sakina Itoo, and Commissioner/Secretary School Education Mr. Ram Niwas Sharma (IAS) for extending the affiliation relaxation period till March 31, 2027.

PSAJK reaffirmed its commitment to quality education and constructive collaboration with the government, expressing optimism that the decision will pave the way for a stable and balanced policy framework for private education in Jammu & Kashmir.
