Establishment of School[edit]
The incident of opening a primary school in Chukhain Zaam village was very interesting. First time, the light of knowledge in this village came through Jumma Khan Qaisrani . Once a philanthropic Political Assistant, Dr. Imtiaz Ahmad Khan, visited the mountainous BMP Post of Chitter Watta of Baloch tribal Area. The Political Assistant is the subordinate officer of the deputy commissioner. In those days, the schools in this area were under administration of a Political Assistant. When the political assistant was on an annual visit to the area from the Dera Ghazi Khan office, he used to hold competition of shooing between his Border Military Police soldiers and the local Baloch people. Jumma Khan in the interest of competing, reached at BMP Post Chitter Watta after a 12km foot Journey from Chukhain Zaam. After eating at Night time dinner, the Political Assistant said that I have to make a surprise inspection of 35km away BMP post Phugla, Who will lead my me and my horse in the way? Distinguished audience took the name of Juma Khan because no one could run with a horse at night in the mountainous journey except him. So as Jumma Khan led him on a foot track through Dab ravine via Nili Sham to Phugla. They reached there before the dawn and dusk. The Political Assistant inspected the post. Meanwhile, Jumma Khan prayed in the mosque in front of the post and slept there for rest. Then at time of breakfast, the Political Assistant said: Call Jumma Khan on to me. Jumma Khan was summoned. The Political Assistant told Jumma Khan that you have led me with an excellent responsibility. Now tell me, what reward should I give you? Will you work in BMP?
Jumma Khan said: No thanks.
Then he said: I will allot some land in your name in Rajanpur district.
Jumma Khan said: No sir, my own land is enough for my livelihood.
Then he said: Well, then you tell me, what reward should I give you?
Jumma Khan said: Sir, at night when I was running with your horse, I thought in my mind that you are neither stronger than me nor faster in running. Then what is the reason that you are riding horse and I am running on foot? I thought it was because of education. It was the glory of education. If you can reward me, start a primary school in my village. Maybe, at some my children will be able to read and write.
The Political Assistant took out his diary. He wrote the name of Jumma Khan's village and then said that inshaAllah a teacher will reach soon in your village. Then twenty-two days later, on April 30, a teacher, Amir Muhammad Qaisrani, reached Chukhain Zaam village, asking for the name of Jumma Khan. On 1 May 1961 the Government Primary School Chukhain Zaam[6] was established and Jumma Khan was the first man who admitted his son in the school. Then Jumma Khan told the people of village and surroundings to send their children to school, as now they will be taught by a teacher Amir Muhammad Qaisrani.
