"There is a heavy footfall of tourists, one can't get a room. People of Kashmir are happy, they have understood the game of the separatists. Nobody is with them (separatists) now. We should pray that things remain peaceful," Lt General Pandey said.
Earlier, the corps commander inaugurated the digital classrooms in 10 Army Goodwill Schools in Kashmir.
"With the inception and impact of technology in all spheres of life, the Indian Army has also incorporated innovative changes in the existing learning and teaching techniques in Army Goodwill Schools.
"In one such endeavour, the Indian Army, in collaboration with the Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (PGCIL), undertook a project to upgrade and digitise the classrooms in 10 Army Goodwill Schools of Kashmir Division in the districts of Baramulla, Kupwara, Bandipora and Anantnag," officials at the function said.

They said the project included converting 128 classrooms into smart classes, which will revolutionise the teaching process.
The work on the project commenced in March 2020. However, due to Covid-19, it was halted from April to September last year and the digitisation of all classrooms was finally completed by December.
The key aspects of classrooms 2.0 are an enjoyable learning process, improved student engagement, attractive graphics, better instructional materials and ability to cater to all learning styles.
"Sixteen Army Goodwill Schools out of a total of 28 have been digitised till date. We hope to digitise the remaining 12 also, so that all the children studying in these schools of the Kashmir valley can enjoy the benefits of the latest teaching techniques," the officials said.
