Message of HCM, Shri
Pawan Chamling on the inaugural function of newly built boy’s and girl’s
hostels at Government Senior Secondary School and Namchi Girls Senior Secondary
School at Namchi, South Sikkim.
I extended my best
wishes to the principals of both Government Senior Secondary School and Namchi
Girls Senior Secondary School for acquiring the new structures. The present
State Government’s relentless efforts in uplifting the society and the state by
introducing developmental projects in spheres such as education, health care,
tourism, commerce & industry, technology, agriculture and animal husbandry,
manufacturing and food industry. I sought the participation of the educated and
intellectual class in contributing substantially for the holistic development
of Sikkim that puts the state at par with the other developed first world
nations of the world.
I emphasized the need for students to encompass a wide-range
of knowledge and skills which is relevant, constructive, in-demand and
universally applicable to face the competitive challenges of the 21st century.
Education has always been a priority of the present State Government and that
there are ample amount of schemes and policies in the education sector
particularly for the students belonging to economically weaker background. I
The various schemes under the present state government such as free education
upto college level, free post doctorate education for the BPL students in
central universities, educational funding of students under the CMMS scheme for
students who are academically proficient. The need for life oriented and
value-based learning in the school curriculum as it stimulates mental and emotional
growth within the students.
The state sponsored free coaching programs for IAS,
NDA and other Allied Service for the Sikkimese students and urged them to tap
maximum potential out of such opportunities. Speaking to the youth centric
crowd, I urged them to imbibe special interest in subjects such as Mathematics
and Pharmacy as it offers them a greater scope to acquire employment in the
future. I also proposed varied ways and means for the youth to generate income
for themselves in an attempt to make their skills commercially viable
particularly through Organic Farming.
