He said if one cannot apply his/her education in the society, the same cannot be termed as quality education even the individual may be equipped with vast knowledge.
As such, imparting moral education is needed which will instill a sense of contributions to the society.
Contrasting the education systems in Mizoram and the state, the Education Minister said the literary rate is much higher in neighbouring Mizoram than here due to the sincere approach by the people.
He said that the education oriented scheme, Sarva Siksha Ahiyan (SSA) has been implemented in the state in 2004-05, four years later the launch of the scheme.
Jayentakumar said that food meant for mid-day meals were seized by undergrounds and instances of some groups taking hold of books meant for distribution to children saying they would distribute it.
The Education Minister appeals to shun the trend so as to create a viable and free atmosphere.
The function was attended by the Chairperson of Mega Manipur Society, Dr RK Nimai as the president while the guests of honour were Advocate General N Koteshore and the Chairperson of the Mega Manipur School management committee, Rupachandra Yumnam.
Speaking on the occasion, Dr RK Nimai said that the school has been set up with firm conviction to mould future leaders of the state.
The students are imparted not only classroom education but they are also given practical lessons.
Rewards were also given to donors, teachers, and students of the school during the function.
Various extravaganzas from the students were also shown during the Foundation Day of the school.
