ZIRO, July 23: Saying that Robin Hibu, the first IPS officer and the first police officer to reach the post of Director General of Police from Arunachal Pradesh is indeed a visionary man endowed with missionary zeal, the chief executive officer of Muthoot Group of Companies Alexander George Muthoot said the company is privileged to be partaking in their maiden corporate social responsibility initiative in the Himalayan belt.

​At the virtual inauguration launch of M.G George Muthoot Education Centre at Mahatma Gandhi Centre (MGC) Hong village here on Monday, the young CEO of Muthoot Group of Companies Alexander George Muthoot said the initiative was one among the nine initiatives taken up by the Muthoot Group of Companies in the northeast region. ‘The credit goes to Robin Hibu for taking up this initiative and Muthoot Group will continue to provide logistics and other necessary support in upkeep of the education centre and the Mahatma Gandhi Centre,’ said Alexander.

​The M.G George Muthoot Education Centre at Mahatma Gandhi Centre is named after group chairman of Muthoot Group of Companies and father of CEO Alexander George Muthoot. 

​Saying that M.G George Muthoot Education Centre was a left out portion of Mahatma Gandhi Centre, Director Innovative and Entrepreneurship of Jamia Millia Islamia University Professor Rihan Khan Suri said the education centre is expected to be a growth engine in terms of learning not only for Hong village but entire Apatani plateau. The professor congratulated the people of Hong village and urged them to make the use of the facility.
