Afterward, a career counseling program was held at Margherita College Auditorium, with more than 250 students in attendance. A lengthy discussion regarding their career paths took place in the presence of ATTSA Tinsukia District Executive Committee president and general secretary, Jagat Nayak, and Anuj Tanti.
Hrishikesh Goswami, former chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal’s media advisor, was present as the keynote speaker, along with chief guests Sanjoy Kishan, Assam Government Tea Tribes and Labour Welfare minister, Margherita College principal Dr Atonu Kakoty, Assam Tea Tribe Student Association Central Executive Committee general secretary Jagdish Baraik, Margherita sub-divisional police officer Sambhavi Mishra (IPS), and many other resourceful and distinguished individuals from Margherita sub-division.
Hrishikesh Goswami, the keynote speaker, emphasised that without education, no community can develop. He noted that the Tea Tribes students of Assam are now passing their exams with flying colours, which is a positive sign of development.
“Only education can bring reformation,” he added, “bank balances, luxurious vehicles, and high living standards are temporary, but if one is educated, not only that individual but the entire society and nation will prosper.”
Sanjoy Kishan, minister for Labour and Tea Welfare in the state government, expressed his appreciation for Tea Tribes students’ academic achievements, acknowledging the sacrifices made by their parents for these results.
“After 77 years of our country’s independence, significant development work has taken place in the tea garden areas of Assam,” he remarked, crediting the construction of model schools, high schools, and higher secondary schools to the leadership of chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.
He concluded by commending the Assam Tea Tribes Student Association (ATTSA) for organising such a significant event and expressed hope that similar programs would continue in the future.
The entire program was moderated by Anuj Tanti, general secretary of ATTSA Tinsukia District Executive Committee.
