The programme, held in the college’s Conference Hall, was chaired by Dr. Nutazo Lohe, Assistant Professor of History. Vevolu Khamo, Assistant Professor in the Education Department, opened the event with an invocation, and a special number by Seyieleno Nisa of the History Department set a reflective tone for the evening.

His calm demeanor and steadfast work ethic were repeatedly highlighted as hallmarks of his tenure.
In his farewell address, Dr. Jamir expressed deep appreciation to the faculty, staff, and students for their support. “This small college community has had a big impact on my life,” he said. “It has taught me values and lessons that I will always treasure.” He encouraged the college to continue upholding its motto, “Lighted to Light.”
The event concluded with words of gratitude from Jonathan Kikon, General Secretary of the PGCTA, followed by a benediction from Libemo Shitiri (LDA), drawing to a close a memorable chapter in the institution’s history.
