Imphal, December 23 2022:
Keishamthong A/C MLA Nishikant Sapam has called for emphasizing on wholesome development in grooming children.
He was speaking as the chief guest at the closing ceremony of the 28th Annual Sports Meet of Rajkumari Sanatombi Devi Vidyalaya which was held today at the premises of the institute at Haotal, Pangei.
Saying that building personality comes at the fore when it comes to grooming a child, the MLA who is also the Chairman of the Privilege and Ethics Committee of the Manipur Legislative Assembly further pointed out that family, society and school act as the important institutions in this process.
He also said that being educated and being literate are two different things.
One may become literate by sitting and reading books.

"But for the wholesome development of a person, personality grooming, sports and extracurricular activities are required", Nishikant added.
Noting that academic education can never be sidelined in the wholesome development of a person, he said that he might not be able to stand and speak in front of the students if he did not attend classes or neglected academic education.
While advising the students to learn team leadership quality from sports, specially from team games and extracurricular activities, Nishikant said that people who think only themselves could never become leaders.
He also advised the students to develop the habit of sitting and eating together with the family members saying that this culture provides ample opportunities to have emotional attachment and interaction with them.
The MLA then asked the students to build cultural capital while adding that even many of the wealthy people do not have the cultural capital.
Expressing happiness that he could see a lot of enthusiasm and good spirit among the students of the school participating in the sports meet, he said that the moment would ever remain a vivid memory of the youthful days of the students.
Further wishing the Rajkumari Sanatombi Devi Vidyalaya to remain an academic institute of excellence in the future too, Nishikant lauded the Director, management, teachers and all the school authorities for organizing the sports meet successfully.
The function was also attended by Rajkumari Sanatombi Devi Educational Institutions Vice Chairman T Asha, Director Jina Thongram and RK Sanatombi Devi Vidyalaya, Haotal Vice Principal E Lalitkumar, among others.
