Frontiers Finest: Toheed Akhalaq Khan Shaping Young Minds at AGS- Model Academy Sagra

_By Rameez Raja, Mendhar_

MENDHAR 02: In the border tehsil of Mendhar, where education meets resilience, a young teacher is quietly transforming lives at Model Academy Sagra, in Mankote Zone.

Toheed Akhalaq, a native of Frontier Mendhar, is presently serving as a teacher at the institution run by the Indian Army under the Sadbhavana Scheme. The school, a private initiative of the Army, was established to bring quality education to remote areas and foster goodwill in border communities.

Colleagues describe Toheed as more than just a teacher. “He is good and multitalented,” said a fellow faculty member. “Whether it’s academics, extracurriculars, or mentoring, he steps up. That’s why both students and teachers love him very much.”

In a region where teachers often double as counselors and role models, Toheed’s connect with students stands out. His approach blends discipline with warmth — a balance that has made Model Academy Sagra a place students look forward to coming to every morning.

The Sadbhavana Scheme has long aimed to bridge gaps in border education through institutions like this. Teachers like Toheed Akhalaq embody that vision on the ground: local, committed, and invested in the next generation of Mendhar.

As the Academy continues its work in Mankote Zone, Toheed’s dedication serves as a reminder that the real strength of any border area lies in its classrooms and the people who teach in them.
