GANGTOK, Sept 5: Sikkim chief minister Mr Pawan Chamling today said that environment and biotechnology will be introduced as two prime subjects in upcoming full-fledged Central University of Sikkim. Addressing a programme on the occasion of Teachers' Day here today, Mr Chamling, said: "Teachers should sharpen their students and make them eligible to grab this opportunity."
The CM, however, said that mushrooming of private educational institutes would not be allowed. "The world has reached very far in terms of quality of education, but Sikkim is still lagging behind. There should not be any age bar for teachers to upgrade their education and to sit in higher educational exams," he added. Mr Chamling said setting up of the Central university is a big achievement for the state. “It would help the students in pursuing various degrees,” he said.
