11
(f) Out of 60 KV Schools approved by Deputy Commissioner, KV Sangathan Jammu
region , only 32 turned up to attend adventure courses at JIM & WS. Rest of the KV
schools preferred to send their students to some private adventure agencies instead
of sending the students to JIM & WS, a nationally recognized Mountaineering
Institute. The quality of training and facilities provided at JIM & WS at the rate of Rs.
550/- (Including one good quality trek suit & a cap as parting gift) then Rs.700/- to
800/-, without any doubts are better than any other private Institutes. In addition, the
students have to travel a cumbersome long journey to remote parts of other states
instead of an easy and short travel to JIM & WS, which save precious time for more
training.
RECOMMENDATIONS 18. (a) It is recommended that more adventure groups may be sent to JIM & WS for
other adventure activities like Basic, Advance Mountaineering, Mountain
Adventure, Mountain rescue courses, Basic, Intermediate and Advance skiing
courses in winter and paragliding courses.
(b) It is requested that Commissioner KV Sangathan New Delhi and Deputy
Commissioner KV Sangathan, Jammu region may make sure that the students of all
approved KV’s shall be benefited and given chance to explore the J&K State
through JIM & WS.
(c) It is recommended and requested that maximum number of students should be
given exposure by sending for adventure courses throughout the year, rather than
restricted to May, Jun & Jul. Since these adventure courses are hardly for 07 to 10
days duration.
