Akshay Kumar donates Rs 1 crore to remote Jammu and Kashmir border school, new building named after his father

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar has supported a government school in the remote Gurez Valley region of Jammu and Kashmir with a donation of Rs 1 crore. The contribution, made in 2021, has helped transform Government Middle School Nero Tulail in Bandipora district, which now has a newly built school block named Shri Hari Om Bhatia Education Block in memory of the actor’s late father.

The upgraded facility has made a real difference for students in the border village near the Line of Control. The development was completed after his financial contribution in



2021 and has now become part of the school’s upgraded infrastructure.

The donation from Akshay Kumar led to the construction of a new school block at Government Middle School Nero Tulail. The building has been named Shri Hari Om Bhatia Education Block, dedicated to the actor’s late father. 

The new block includes classrooms, a computer laboratory, a library and office space for teachers. It has also improved arrangements linked to the Midday Meal Scheme, with cleaner and more structured facilities now available for students.
