Imphal, May 06 2012:
A one-day national seminar on "Community Colleges: Opportunities and Challenges" jointly organised by Oinam Ibohal Polytechnic and Manipur Library Association was held today at Nupi Lan Memorial Complex.
As chief guest of the seminar, Lok sabha MP Dr Th Meinya applauded authorities of community colleges for rendering humanitarian service through their multi-community institutions and providing technical education to physically challenged individuals.
Emphasising that empowerment of all to achieve the target for overall growth and advancement of the society, he also urged the delegates to disseminate invaluable knowledge and experience gained at the seminar to the common people.
MLA Dr I Ibohalbi, who also spoke on the occasion, strongly advocated that inspite of Manipur being besieged with different problems there should be concerted effort from all sections of the society to promote quality education, without which Manipuris will continue to lag behind in all spheres of life.
The Oinam AC legislator also suggested that opportunities provided by community colleges be ensured to the remote and far flung hill areas in order to promote emotional integrity and harmonious coexistence.
