Imphal, July 07 2011:
Students enrolled in different schools and colleges of the state to get educated should not think of getting government jobs as their ultimate goal said T.Mangibabu at a meritorious award distribution function held at Bachaspati Leikai community hall today.
Speaking as the chief guest at the meritorious award distribution function held particularly for the students of Uripok A/C who passed in the first division in the metric exam 2011 held recently, MLA T.Mangibabu said that education is being imparted to students to give them knowledge and to make them as perfect persons.
He further said that the importance of education should be made known to everybody.
In this regard the government has introduced the Right to Education Act which entitles every child up to the age of 14 years to free and compulsory education.
Around 100 students of Uripok A/C were awarded in the function.
Retired VC of MU iI.S.Khaidem graced the function as president.
ADGP N.Shyamananda and Chairperson of Social Welfare Board R.K.Noyonsana were the guest of honours.
