Chief Minister N Biren Singh has said that the newly launched 'School Fagathansi' mission would bring visible changes and improvement in the education sector of the State.
Speaking as the chief guest during the Statehood Day Celebration, 2019 organised at 1st Manipur Rifles Parade Ground today, the Chief Minister stated that a new revolution in education sector should start from grassroots so that the State can produce hard working, dedicated, sincere and patriotic citizens in the coming days.
A special meeting would be convened soon to make the mission successful, he mentioned.
Stating that the people of Manipur are filled with talents and potential, Chief Minister N Biren said that there would be development in the State if avenues are created for those talented people.
Our Government is working tirelessly and collectively for the development of the State, he said, appealing the Government officials to work with sincerity and honesty for the welfare and development of the State.
Biren mentioned that the State would honour those officials for their dedication and commitment and appealed the people of the State to extend their support to the Government towards making a peaceful, prosperous and developed State.
