She continued that the recent burglary in the college is the first of its kind and it indicates that education awareness among the youth is drastically lacking behind.
She further condemned it as “truly unfortunate” for the society.
It is also highly unfortunate that we are busy engaging in such unwanted element, which account probably for the slow development in education sector, while the world over, people are running non-stop for better and advance education, she asserted.
“We are at the bottom struggling for development particularly in the field of education; there it is high time to wake up from our deep slumber.”
While extending her thankfulness to all those involved in the recovery of the stolen items, Dr T Gangte urged all to extend their fullest cooperation towards the college for the cause education.
