Speaking at the opening of the camp, Seikholet Singsit emphasised on the importance and necessity of good health amongst the young learners as well as their parents and guardians in children’s educational career.
“When students are physically and mentally not well it will be wrong on the part of their parents to hope big from their wards. Likewise, when the parents too are not physically as well as mentally well enough it will be very much difficult to support their children in their educational career”, asserted the DIS/DDO, adding that good education is not enough to make the society develop, it also needs good health which gives sound mind and body.
Considering the importance of good health amongst the school going children and their parents, the office of the deputy inspector of schools, Saitu Gamphajol is taking the initiatives under Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan in organizing this camp, added Singsit. He made an appeal to make Saitu Gamphajol block physically, mentally, educationally and economically well.
