Arunachal's Changing Education Sector
Northeast Today|December 2017

Arunachal Pradesh, over the years, has witnessed development in every sector. And this was even attributed by President Ram Nath Kovind while addressing the valedictory function of 40 years celebrations of Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya, Arunachal Pradesh at Indira Gandhi Park in Itanagar on November 19. Taking a leaf out from Kovind’s speech, Northeast Today analyses on the changing scenario of the state, especially focussing on its education sector.

Arunachal's Changing Education Sector

First Few Words

The efforts made by the Arunachal Pradesh Education Department yielded positive results and it brought home the ‘Best Performing Small State in Education’ for the state at the India Today State of the States Conclave 2017 held in New Delhi recently. State Education Minister Honchun Ngandam along with Special Secretary (Education) Mitali Namchoom were present to receive the award that was presented by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari. This recognition comes as a big boost for the state government, which has left no stone unturned to make Arunachal an educational hub- not just in the Northeast but also in the entire country.

Attending the valedictory function of 40 years celebrations of Vivekananda Kendra Vidyalaya, Arunachal Pradesh at Indira Gandhi Park in Itanagar, Arunachal Chief Minister Pema Khandu announced the setting up of a Skill University to provide employment opportunities outside the government space, which Khandu believes will help the youth of Arunachal Pradesh to gain employment opportunities outside the government space.
