Chief Minister Sarbananda Sonowal on Tuesday felicitated Ahmed Ali, a rickshaw puller from Patherkandi in Karimganj District, who single-handedly established nine schools in and around his village.
Ali has dedicated his efforts to ensure that every child in his village has access to education.
By selling his land and collecting donations from the villagers, Ali established the first school in 1978.
Over the years, he established 9 schools - 3 lower primary schools, 5 middle schools, and a high school in his village.
