Taorem Pritam was also accompanied by noted social activist Dayanand Sharma and alumnus of KV No.1 Imphal (Lamphelpat).
During the interaction, various issues pertaining to the functioning and expansion of Kendriya Vidyalayas in Manipur were discussed in detail. A significant focus was laid on the proposal for opening 9 new Kendriya Vidyalayas across different districts of the state, including Senapati, Kakching, Thoubal, Jiribam, Tengnoupal, Kamjong, and Bishnupur, among others
The DC KVS RO Tinsukia apprised the Hon’ble Chief Minister that while proposals for the establishment of Kendriya Vidyalayas have been received from the District Magistrates of certain districts such as Senapati and Kakching, proposals from several other districts are still awaited. He requested the Hon’ble Chief Minister to kindly facilitate the submission of these proposals at the earliest.
The DC KVS RO Tinsukia also requested the State Government to extend necessary support in terms of provision of suitable land and fulfillment of other essential requirements for the early establishment of these new Kendriya Vidyalayas. He also further added that an increase in the number of KVs in Manipur would also greatly benefit the state government school education system as this would lead to exchange of ideas / teaching practices and sharing of resources between the KVs and the state government schools.
A special emphasis was laid on the long-pending issue concerning Kendriya Vidyalaya Akampat, which has been functioning from a temporary building at Khurai Lamlong for over a decade. The DC KVS RO Tinsukia highlighted that the allotment and development of land is a prerequisite for handing over the site to KVS for construction of permanent school infrastructure. He made a humble appeal to the Hon’ble Chief Minister to personally intervene and expedite the resolution of this matter in the larger interest of the students.
The Hon’ble Chief Minister, Y. Khemchand Singh, assured that the State Government would look into all the issues raised during the meeting. He acknowledged and appreciated the significant role played by Kendriya Vidyalayas in strengthening the school education system both across the country and within Manipur. He commended the efforts of DC KVS RO Tinsukia and assured full cooperation from the State Government.
In conclusion, Taorem Pritam Singh conveyed that, subject to the timely provision of land and other required support from the State Government, he would be glad to facilitate the opening of an additional Kendriya Vidyalaya in Imphal, considering the growing demand for admissions in KVs among the public.
