Zilla Parishad Secures Land for Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya in Guptapara After 20-Year Pursuit

In a landmark development for the education sector in South Andaman, the long-standing vision of establishing a Zilla Parishad Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya (ZPVKV) in Guptapara has taken a major step forward. The Deputy Commissioner of South Andaman has officially allotted one hectare of land near Guptapara Junction—formerly a rubber plantation site—for the construction of the school. The allotment was issued under Order No. R.C. No. 481/2024/DC/SA.

This milestone marks the culmination of a 20-year pursuit by Mr. Prakash Adhikari, Adhyaksh of South Andaman, who first envisioned the project during his tenure as a Zilla Parishad Member in 2005. His persistent efforts were aimed at improving educational opportunities for children in rural areas such as Manglutan, Guptapara, Wandoor, Sippighat, and nearby villages.
