The minister said success in one's life is not viable without education and that everyone needs to become literate.
She said the Government of India has been focusing on education for all.
Mirabai also said development is impossible without the role of women and hence inclusive education for all is necessary.
The Adult Education scheme has enabled illiterate people in the State, especially old women and men, to write at least their names, she said.
The Social Welfare Minister said programmes taken up by the Education Department towards bringing quality education in the State will be a waste of time if the people are not willing to help the department in its efforts.
Agriculture & Fisheries Minister Md Abdul Nasir was the president on the occasion and Thoubal Zila Parishad chairperson Kh Surnalata, Autonomous District Council, Senapati chairperson ML Marxal and State Literacy Authority Commissioner BB Sharma were the guests of honour.
