Tumben P Tsanglao, EAC Tening in his vote of thanks expressed gratitude to the Department of School Education for the proactive and prompt initiative to facilitate and enable the students to avail financial support for their education, especially for the economically weaker sections which majority of the students from rural areas belong to. He further exhorted the teachers designated as Institutional Nodal Officers to be effective agents in their role not only as government employees but as ‘public servants’ while facilitating students to avail government financial aid. 

Large numbers of Teachers from both government and private schools turned up for the programs representing each   village in the sub-division reflecting their sincerity and commitment towards the students.
