Taking note of the teachers' dedication and service, the VC also assured promotions to those eligible teachers.
Chief guest Prof NS Hari Narayana Moorthy expressed his happiness for being a part of the celebration and also congratulated the organising committee and the RCM fraternity.
He dwelled largely on the message conveyed by the vice chancellor and remarked that "it is a matter of pride to be a part of IGNTU, whose area of operation is wide in scope by virtue of being a national university" .
He stressed that the founding of IGNTU was to uplift the conditions of the tribal brethren in India through knowledge and education, and also to promote and conserve the declining tribal culture and tradition.
He wished the students all the best in their academic pursuits.
In his presidential address, Prof Ng Ngalengnam briefly narrated how RCM was established at Tribal Research Institute, Imphal in a single room providing MPhil in political science in 2009 .
Gradually, more subjects and courses were added.
Then for some time, RCM functioned from classrooms in Adimjati Complex, Imphal.
Finally, in 2017, it shifted to its permanent campus.
At present, there are five departments such as political science, social work, sociology, tribal studies and computer science.
Except for the departments of sociology and tribal studies, the rest provides not only master's degree but also PhD degree, he informed.
Prof Ngalengnam further informed that although the pace of infrastructure development of the campus is slow, it has steadily progressed catering to the needs of the students.
It has a well-functioning library and sports complex.
And at the moment, two hostels for male and female students are nearly completed, he added.
The professor then advised the students to have faith in the institution and the well-qualified teachers and be a part of the advancing nation.
He concluded his speech by extending his warm regards and gratitude to the vice chancellor of IGNTU Prof Prakash Mani Tripathi for his encouraging words, while urging the RCM staffers to make the institution a reputed place of learning for the entire humanity.
