Advisor, School Education, KT Sukhalu, said community support is vital to ensure that government schools function smoothly and produce the desired results.

The advisor said though it is the responsibility of the government to provide infrastructure and other developmental aspects of the school but the community too has a major role to play in human resource management and well being of school children.

Addressing the inauguration programme of new school buildings of GHSS Diphupar, funded under SPA and RMSA, Sukhalu said at present there are 1913 government schools in Nagaland to ensure that every child has access to Right to Education and that the Education department was envisioning better schools and environment for school children.

But without community support and cooperation, it will be very difficult for government and teachers to run a school smoothly, he said.

Sukhalu exhorted the students to make best use of their time in school and reminded that there are many aspects to education apart from text books and memorizing notes. Comparing life to a flower which does not bloom forever, he said likewise the students who are in the prime of their life should live and act wisely and always keep in mind what they want to become tomorrow. “From now on you should focus and see that you reach your goals,” he said.

The advisor also said government teachers need to remind themselves that they have chosen the teaching profession to teach with full dedication and commitment.

Urging the teachers to be role models, Sukhalu said that very often parents and teachers tend to lecture their children forgetting that “children will follow what you do and not what you say.”

On the occasion, the advisor School Education also reiterated his commitment to award cash prize of Rs. 1 lakh to any student from government schools who secure top ten positions in the HSLC and HSSLC exams.

Principal, GHSS Diphupar, Kalivi Yepthomi, in her welcome address said the school has come a long way since its establishment way back in 1973 and upgradation to higher secondary in 2017. She also informed that the school has the distinction of being the first school in entire Northeast Region to introduce biometric attendance.

Earlier, Rev. Candid Sareo, offered dedicatory prayer.

Chairman, Diphupar Village Council, and an engineer of the Engineering Wing, School Education, also spoke on the occasion.
