Mon, July 16 (MTNews): The Konyak Union (KU) has appealed to the government of Nagaland to establish three more government colleges at Tizit, Aboi and Tobu in Mon to accommodate the ever-increasing number of college-going students in Mon district.
Saying that Mon being one of the most populated districts, KU said in a press release that population ratio should always be taken into account while distributing developmental projects. “It is high time that the Government of Nagaland understands this issue and takes the matter seriously. The union cannot afford to see Mon district being left out as a backward district even among the backward districts of the state,” KU said in the press release.
Meanwhile, it thanked the Department of School Education (DoSE), Advisor for School Education KT Sukhalu, and Advisor for Department of Underdeveloped Areas (DUDA) Bongkhao Konyak for upgrading the Government High School (GHS), Tobu to Government Higher Secondary School (GHSS).
The union said that upgrading the school with urgency, at a time when many students were not able to get admissions due to lack of adequate educational institutions in the district, is commendable. “The union is hopeful that the concern department will deploy adequate number of teaching staffs without delay for practical realization of the newly upgraded school,” it stated.
The KU also expressed appreciation to Advisor of Horticulture and Border Affairs, Mhathung Yanthan and the department of Horticulture for setting up a Sub-Divisional Horticulture Office (SDHO) at Tobu. It also expressed optimism that the facility will help the people of the area, especially the farmers who are solely dependent on farming for their livelihood.
