“If our people are not empowered and capable, the State cannot prosper,” he said, adding that the teachers should be responsible in providing quality education to the students so that the immense potential of the children was harnessed well to power the State building process in later years.
Delving on developments which have taken place in the education sector, the Chief Minister mentioned that the improvements have taken place through the contributions made by the teachers in classrooms, with the Government playing the role of facilitator as a policy-maker.
It was important for teachers to be responsible and accountable, he stressed, as he called upon teachers to work concertedly for the betterment of society and solicited their contribution and support to make Sikkim addiction-free.
While reiterating that demands sanctioned during his recent village-to-village tour, the Chief Minister informed that work on playgrounds, toilet facilities, auditorium halls and school buildings sanctioned on the spot during the tour will commence from this month onwards.
The vote of thanks was proposed by Director, Technical Education.
