PORIEM: Poriem MLA Deviya Rane on Monday flagged off a dedicated Kadamba Transport Corporation Limited (KTCL) college bus service to cater to students and faculty from Mhadei, Advoi, Pedani, Shigne, Pissurlem, Honda, Sankhalim, Parye, and Morlem. The service is expected to significantly improve transport access in remote areas.
Funded by the District Mineral Foundation (DMF) and operated by KTCL, the initiative will provide a safer, reliable, and affordable commute for college-goers who have long struggled with inadequate public transport. Many students were forced to walk long distances, depend on irregular private vehicles, or miss classes, particularly during the monsoon season.
The inauguration was attended by KTCL General Manager Mahendra Pednekar, KTCL Depot Manager Bikaji Phadte, Project State Coordinator (DoE) Gajanan Dessai, Umesh Sarnaik, Sarpanch Udaysingh Rane, Dy Sarpanch Rupali Gaonkar, and Panch members of Bhironda.
Officials said the new service will help bridge the accessibility gap for higher education in rural areas and offer much-needed relief to students and faculty alike.
