Imphal, July 02 2011:
Sarva Sikshya Abhiyan(SSA) and Rashtriya Madhyamik Sikshya Abhiyan(RMSA) is an auxiliary and subsidiary programme taken up under the state directorate of education but there seems to be a huge gap between SSA and the directorate of education.
These supporting programmes has been emphasized more, sidelining the main programme which is a huge blunder on the part of the state government.
As a result the state education policy needs to be changed totally.
This was disclosed by MLA of langthabal assembly constituency, O.Joy in a function today where school bags and uniform were distributed under SSA to 1455 students studying in different primary and junior high schools of Langthabal assembly constituency.

Speaking as the chief guest at the function MLA O.Joy said that in todays world of advancement and rapid progress in developmental strategies, India is also trying its level best to compete in the race by developing all its infrastructure required to develop a country.
As a part of its developmental tactics a number of flagship programmes has been taken up including NRHM,RMSA and SSA.
The condition of government schools are deteriorating day by day because of various reasons which are best known to the concern departments.
The person who is concern with the overall working of the SSA scheme is in total contradiction with the person who understands the real problem of education in the state.
