A sum of Rs.76 lakhs is to be allocated for upgradation of Chairel Junior High School to a high school under RMSA, but the present condition of the school is quite disheartening and it would require some more funds for its proper development.

He lauded the local MLA K Ranjit for taking up so many development works at Chairel Village, which was earlier one of the most underdeveloped villages in Thoubal district.

Education Minister further assured that the villagers of Chairel would get their share of quality education from the State Government with the upgradation of this Junior High School.

Mininster Okendro also handed over a sum of Rs.3 lakhs to School Development Committee of Sugnu Higher Secondary School for taking up development works of the school.

The team further inspected Kakching Khunou College and the site for construction of a residential college at Sugnu Awang Leikai.

It may be noted that the State Government has proposed to establish four residential colleges at Sugnu, Thanlon, Phungyar and Tamei under RUSA.

Moreover, 28 colleges and 12 Government-aided colleges in the State would be developed under this centrally sponsored scheme for development of higher education.
