Accompanied by Diphu MLA, Bidyasing Engleng; district commissioner, Madhumita Bhagawati, and Inspector of Schools, Biren Engti, the minister inspected the school campus for hygiene and cleanliness.
During an interactive meeting, a student highlighted the need for a separate girls’ toilet, prompting the Minister to instruct SMC members to prepare an estimate for immediate construction. Parents also voiced concerns about the lack of a boundary wall, leading to anti-social elements damaging school property. The Minister assured support for addressing these issues.

Informing the media, the guardian minister stated that Gunotsav has brought positive changes to education in Assam, promoting quality education. He emphasised the government’s commitment to providing support based on identified needs during school visits.
