RONO HILLS, Sep 26:

The All Arunachal Pradesh Students’ Union in collaboration with Department of Education, RGU conducted a one-day symposium on ‘Present Scenario of Education in Arunachal Pradesh’ at the University premises.

Attending the inaugural function as the chief guest, Vice chancellor of RGU, Prof. Tamo Mibang said that the root of all development is Education and therefore the quality of life depends on the quality of education too.

Dr MQ khan speaking on the occasion as the resource person said that the most important segment in the journey of education is elementary education and stressed on strengthening this aspect.

Dean of faculty of commerce, Prof. Tasi Kai, moderator of technical session 1 opined that higher learning educational institutes like colleges and polytechnics should not be established in too remote areas where there are no students at all. It is an injustice to the students of such regions where there are no proper electricity, internet and road connectivity, how can such students studying in the remotest regions go together with the mainstream students? Only industries and factories are built in such places for the development of the area. It is a waste of public money too; instead more Government colleges should be built in the capital region, he added.

Emphasizing on the evolving scenario of education system and role of youth in nation building, Retired Wing commander, Indian Air Force, Gyati Kago said that education cannot be limited, it has to be universal and that the future of any country depends upon its educated youth force.

Taking advantage of the huge gathering of students AAPSU General Secretary, Tobom Dai urged the students to not only focus on academic line but also to serve society as the torchbearers. Speaking about AAPSU’s stand on the Chakma-Hajong issue, he informed that AAPSU is in no mood to go along with the Government’s decision and said that ‘if compelled AAPSU might go for another phase of protest which could be of 36 hours.’

Enlightening the gathering more about the symposium, Secretary Debate and Symposium AAPSU, Marli Kamki said that the symposium was a small initiative from AAPSU as a part of AAPSU’s Golden Jubilee celebration. ‘This initiative will be made a tradition— debates and symposiums of educational values like this will be carried out from time to time in future too,’he informed.

The Symposium was organized under the chairmanship of Marli Kamki, secretary Debate and symposium AAPSU with Rahim Yangfo, asstt secretary Debate and Symposium and Miyo Tayeng, Federal deputy speaker AAPSU as joint organizers
