DIMAPUR, JULY 17 (MExN): The Konyak Union, while extending gratitude to the Department of School Education; KT Sukhalu, Advisor for School Eduation; and Bongkhao Konyak, Advisor, DUDA for upgrading Government High School (GHS), Tobu to Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS), has also called for setting up 3 more Government Colleges at Tizit, Aboi and Tobu so as to accommodate the ever increasing number of college going students in the district.
“Mon district being the most populated district should not always be treated as equals with the rest of the districts in the state. Population ratio should always be taken into account while distributing developmental projects. It is high time that the Government of Nagaland understand this issue and take the matter seriously,” a press release from the KU said.
It said that union cannot afford to see Mon district “being left out as backward district even among the backward districts of the state.”
It meanwhile stated that the urgency with which the upgradation had been achieved is commendable, at a time when many students were left without admissions due to lack of adequate institutions in the district. The union expressed hope that the concerned department will deploy adequate number of teaching staffs without delay for practical realization of the newly upgraded school.
The union would also like to appreciated Mhathung Yanthan, Advisor, Horticulture & Border Affairs and the Department of Horticulture for setting up Sub-Divisional Horticulture Office (SDHO) at Tobu. The KU was optimistic that this would aid the people of the area especially the farmers who are solely dependent on farming for their livelihood.
