Knowledge can be gained through reading books. There is no substitute of books for becoming a dignified and good human being which is why the state government is making arrangements to encourage tribal students towards education by giving away merit awards every year, said Tribal Welfare Minister Mevar Kumar Jamatia after inaugurating state-level merit award giving ceremony to indigenous merit students at Nuwai Auditorium Hall of TTAADC Sadar Office, Khumulwng yesterday.

The programme was organised by Tribal Welfare department.

This year, the department enlisted total 26, 548 indigenous students of class VI to Class XII for merit award who had secured more than 60% in their final exams.

The Tribal Welfare Minister said, ‘the students who are being awarded by the government for their merit and hard work are also inspiring other students to become better in studies’. The Minister hoped that more indigenous students would be awarded for their merit in coming days. He advised students not to be glued just to lesson books only but also buy some good books and read them to expand their knowledge base. He said, one has to work for the welfare of family and the society keeping one’s goals stable.

MLA Dhirendra Debbarma in the programme said, ‘today’s students are tomorrow’s future which is why they have to build themselves well through education and involve themselves in welfare of the society’.

Principal Secretary to Tribal Welfare department Puneet Agarwal presided over the programme. He spoke about various plans that the department and the government had taken for the welfare of indigenous students.

 Director of Tribal welfare department delivered welcome speech in the inaugural programme.

TTAADC EM Ganesh Debbarma, TTAADC CEO C.K Jamatia and other guests also delivered speech in the programme.

Other dignitaries present in the programme were Additional Director of Tribal welfare department Ananda Hari Jamatia and Jirania SDM Jiban Acharjee.

The programme was ended by folk dance performed by the students of Khumulwng Music College. The Tribal Welfare Minister handed over certificates to the students on that day.
