Addressing one of the major cause of terrorism, lack of education and misguidance, Army undertook an initiative to bring light to the lives of people of the remote area of Suran valley in Poonch district, which was one of the worst terrorist affected region south of Pir-Panjal ranges. AGS Potha thus came into being on 01 Jun 2003 under aegis of Romeo Force as ‘OP Sadbhavana Education and Welfare Trust, model village, Potha”. It started with a meagre strength because of fear psychosis. Army took a major step forward by sponsoring educational expenses, books and uniforms of children of the region whose parents were killed by terrorist during the period of militancy. It has since then grown from strength to strength and AGS, Potha today boasts of about 500 students, qualified teachers from all across the country, well equipped science and computer lab, a well stocked library and playfield with volleyball & basketball courts and bus services.

The school is preparing its students to accept challenges outside J&K. AGS, Potha as an institution symbolises hope, a desire to excel and above all an indomitable spirit to overcome challenges & emerge victorious.
