The Chief Guest in his inaugural speech said that “Enrollment is satisfactory” as per the statistics presented, but further expected more role on the part of the teachers and parents. “Education is the lifeline of human society. When a good seed is sown it will bear good fruit,” he asserted. Meanwhile, the chief guest contributed footballs and also assured to upgrade the school to high school, as requested by the VC.

Matong Jamir, Chairman Lengrijan, VC, special presentation by GMS Students, vote of thanks by T. L Toshi Longchar, Headmaster, GMS and benediction was pronounced by T. Lepzuk Tzudir.
