Minister for School Education & SCERT Yitachu today inaugurated Meluri Village Council Hall in the presence of huge gathering. The hall was constructed under the Department for Development of Underdeveloped Areas (DUDA) during 2013-14 & 2015-16.
The minister expressed happiness over the completion of the building and at the same time acknowledged DUDA for extending developmental activities to the remote, backward and border areas of the state.
DUDA, which was established to cater to the special needs of the underdeveloped area, aspires and hopes to improve the condition of the backward areas and accelerate the pace of development, thereby bringing them at par with the rest of the state in the near future.
Stressing on the need to deliver world class quality education to the school children in the government schools, Yitachu sought active support from the village councils and village education committees, saying that the government’s effort alone cannot make it happen.
He said the first and foremost thing is to give time to education for the progress of the society. Active participation of village councils and VECs, he added, is needed for smooth functioning of the government schools as well as overall growth of education in the state.
The minister also said that a time has come to take personal commitment to speak the truth and take corrective steps to move forward in all spheres of life.
Earlier, the function was chaired by Meluri Village Council chairman Lerhüsie, while VCM Rholetho Ngouri delivered welcome address.
Officials from DUDA present on the occasion included Er. Imti Chang, SDO, Chingshen Phom, JE, and Lachem Yim, JE.
