Imphal, May 24:
MEGA Society, which is an organization of 1000 parents, today inched closer to its aspirations of setting up a school run and managed by parents themselves, by laying the foundation stone of the Mega School at Yaral Pat in Imphal East.
Speaking at the occasion, Chief Minister O Ibobi who attended as the chief guest lauded the efforts of the Society to establish a school in Manipur that can compete with the best in other parts of the country.
Without mincing words, the Chief Minister said that private schools are today doing much better than Government run schools and added that this is all due to the discipline maintained by private schools.
The Chief Minister further said that the efforts of establishing such a school is praiseworthy and assured that his Government will extend all possible help to the Society.
Revenue Minister E Biramani who attended as one of the guests of honour expressed optimism that the venture taken up by the parents will bear fruits.
Such a school will surely usher in a better system of education, he said.
Y Rupachandra, chairman of MEGA Society, who presided over the function, said that the Society was set up not only with the sole objective of establishing a school but also to blow away the myth that Manipuris cannot work together in unity.
