SHAFQAT SHEIKH

Across the erstwhile district Doda, Bunjwah is having its own status and figure in various fields, where reowned spritural, religious preacher, KAS and KPS Administrators across Jammu and Kashmir. Having too much natural beauties, evergreen forests, springs, tourist spot, lofty mountains, fertile brains and many more. Among all this, Bunjwah is having an assest in education sector under the name of “Amin Academy Bunjwah”  established in the year 1998 and recoginised by Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education upto 8th class and having enroll of students more than 400 that have given unsung heroes across Jammu and Kashmir. The institution from its establishment have progressed best at the best in providing better education, physical activities, social and moral chracter to the students hailing from poor and middle class families on a very low fee structure.
The institution is being run by a bold lady Mrs Zahida Shabir, despite of strong family resistance,when she was married two decades back to a distant village Jawalapur in Bunjwah, a place nestled in between lofty and snow capped mountains and had to reach her house by walking more than 06 kms on feet on a hill lock from Kewapull @Glody. No roads, No Communication, No means of entertainment, and full of fears whether a girl brought up in an urban atmosphere could ever adjust in simple and rural society that too was one of the remotest and backward region of the than district Doda. 
Zahida Shabir married to Shabir Ahmed Butt than Patwari in Revenue Departnment and now Lecturer in Urdu posted at Government Higher Secondry School Binoon began her journey with a scratch and rose to the zenith of success. Zahida Shabir, after being denied and cheated by Officers, Politicial Nexus, She couldn't get her RET job thrice despite having merit and she didn't give up and started her own journey.
Starting her own school in two rooms of deserted structure made of mud and wooden logs. By leaps, bounds and herculian efforts, the school today is one of the best institutuons in the entire Jammu division with two more branches in the adjoining villages. The best part is that the school has hundreds of orphans and poor students who are given free education and all other facilities. The institution is having its own building of 16classrooms, 01 Office, 02 Examination Halls, 04 Toilets, 60X80 feet playground, 22 staff members including teaching, non teaching, sweepers and peon among which all the expensise are beared upon the low collection of fees.
The institution has been getting top positions in board exams with a continuous trail of Number One for over a decade now. I am proud of being a student of Amin Academy and salute the journey, intelligence, dedication and belief in Mrs Zahida Shabir. It would be injustice not to mention her ever loving, caring husband Lecturer Shabir Bhat who stood like a rock besides her since this hard working couple are the real life heroes who are having dedication toward the welfare of society. While addresing in morning assembly prayers the principal of institution Mr. Ghansara Singh laid stress upon students that your competition is on National and International level and you have to achive the goal.
The institution is now a day became an asset for Bunjwah that provides basic education to students of entire Bunjwah and had created a historic example of serving the society.
