He further urged the people to embrace the institution as their own and work together for its upkeep and development.

Highlighting the need to strengthen government schools, he observed that good academic results in the district were largely confined to private institutions and stressed the importance of improving government schools. He appealed to parents to enrol their children in government schools and assured that grievances related to education would be addressed through proper channels.

Speaking on the occasion, T.K. Sangma, Joint Director, School Education & Literacy stated that with the completion of the infrastructure, administration had come closer to the people.

Addressing the gathering, the Nokma welcomed the establishment of the institution in the region and appreciated the developmental initiative. Land owner Harrison R. Sangma expressed happiness in donating the land for construction of the centre and stated that the infrastructure would greatly benefit the people of the area.
