NAMCHI, April 19: In the household survey conducted by the Human Resource Development Department (HRDD), South, Kateng Bokrang area was recorded having one of the highest school dropout children. While analysing the reason behind the dropout, it was found out that one of the main reasons behind is a lucrative business of timber, which attracted the young boys to leave the school and another reason being the lack of awareness among the parents.
Keeping in view the seriousness of the situation, Human Resource Development Department (S) and the school managing committee of Kateng Junior High School organised a day long awareness programme on 18 April for the guardians and the students of Kateng JHS. In the programme, the Range Officer and his staff, Melli Range, Forest Department were also invited to make the public aware about the consequences of de-forestation.
The meeting was chaired by the Assistant Director HRDD (S), DB Subba and attended by the Assistant Education Officer (Rateypani constituency) Radhika Rai, Head Master of Kateng JHS and his staff.
The HM of Kateng JHS delivered a speech about the present situation faced by the school and the students, while Radhika Rai, area AEO, on her deliberation sensitised the gathering about the role of parents in educating their children.
Amritmaya Tamang, the Nagi Pamphok GPU president and Kateng Bokrang Panchayat, Nim Tshering Tamang delivered their speech on duties and responsibilities of the teachers. A forest personnel on deliberation, highlighted the aims and objectives of Green Mission launched by the state government.
DB Subba, in his address requested the Headmaster and teachers of the school for the inculcation of good habits among the students. The habits of the student reflect the habits of the teacher. The meaning of the school is not the infrastructure that we have until the teachers are not sensitive towards students.
The programme concluded with the vote of thanks.
