Speaking as the chief guest, N Praveen Singh, IAS, Secretary, Education (S) highlighted the important role of teachers in shaping a society.

However, he questioned how Manipuri society will develop if teachers continue to opt out of being transferred in places with shortage of educators and instead search for posting in places that will accommodate their chores at home and engagements in their local area.

He urged teachers to rid themselves of the idea of requesting for transfers to suitable areas close to home.

Educating students only in Imphal area and its surroundings will not bring the entire State on the path to development, he said.

N Praveen also highlighted the need to conduct checks to see if the grants sanctioned under Samagra Shiksha in the State to teach innovative practices to students have been properly utilized.
