Imphal, June 04 2012:
"Make Education a free zone with no bomb threats and monetary demands in educational institutions; I will produce all India topper from Manipur every year", exclaimed S Manaoton, Secretary of Zenith Academy.
He was speaking at a felicitation function hosted in honour of Md Ismat at Maria Montessori Senior Secondary School, Koirengei today.
The function was organized by the CBSE School's Monitoring Cell.
Manaoton observed that no school can ever think of producing good students and toppers if they are bombarded by monetary demands every now and then.
If we want to produce good students, then there should be a peaceful environment where the school authorities can fully concentrate on the issue without being diverted by frequent bomb and gun threats.
He also pointed out that the people of Manipur are always of the opinion that the people of North East States are being looked down by mainland India.
However, they tend to forget that among ourselves we are also trying to pull down one another whenever one of us moves ahead and shows signs of development.
If we produce toppers from Manipur every year in the CBSE examination, mainland India will be compelled to show respect to the state.
Manaoton further informed that educational institutions are temple of learning from where knowledge is spread.
So, the knowledge imparted by educational institutions should be spread gradually.
For this, all of us need to come together in ensuring necessary educational facilities.
The function was graced by Tongbram Gulamjat, former Principal of Campus English Academy and Potshangbam Suchitra as Chief Guest and President respectively.
Md Ismat, in whose honour the function was hosted, failed to turn up on account of ill health.
An amount of Rs 5,000 was handed over by organisers of the function to the father of Ismat on the occasion.
