DC Kohima urges to invest on children for future development

KOHIMA — The deputy commissioner of Kohima, Shanavas C, on Saturday stressed the importance of investing in children to ensure future development of the state, transcending tribal, clan and all classifications.

The DC was addressing the Kohima District Teachers’ Award ceremony held at the District Education Office (DEO) conference hall. Shanavas urged the teachers to be passionate about their profession and not waste their time or that of the students.

Sharing the concern that in many places the teachers do not get the required support from the villages and NGOs, he stressed on the need for ensuring enough support for the teachers to execute their duties and get motivation.

Stating that education is not only classroom education, he reminded that with the changing times, the teachers should keep themselves updated so as not to lag behind.

Shanavas advised the teachers to be students themselves throughout, to learn new things in order to be role models to the students, adding that students have great expectations on them.

Mimi Yhoshü, recipient of National Teachers’ Award 2022, urged the teachers to exhibit sincerity and dedication with consistency in their profession.

A speech on behalf of teacher awardees was delivered by Mhasikholie Sachü, graduate teacher of TM GHSS Kohima.

Earlier, the welcome address was delivered by Emilo Paton, DEO of Kohima, while the programme was led by Neivikhono, project assistant, DMA, SS Kohima, and the vote of thanks was proposed by Patricia Vizo, senior sub-divisional education officer.

The award recipients are Kevilhousenuo Chiesotsu, graduate teacher of GMS Meriema; Khriemeno Nagi, graduate teacher of GHSS Jotsoma; Mhasikholie Sachü, graduate teacher of TM GHSS, Kohima; and Keneisenii Vitsu, graduate teacher of GMS K Khel, Viswema.
