At Government College, Palwal–just six km away–560 boys and 733 girls are enrolled, while 339 girls are pursuing studies at Government Girls College, Mandkola, located 15 km from the village.

He further informed that a District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) has been operational in Janauli since 2015.

Saini said that this farsighted initiative has significantly expanded access to higher education for daughters across the state and reaffirmed that the government remains committed to empowering the youth through quality education. (ANI)
