Baghmara, October 25: Meghalaya Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma has called for educators across the state to embrace a knowledge-centered approach.
Capt Williamson Memorial Government College in Baghmara marked its 33rd Foundation Day on Friday with a milestone event as Speaker of the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly, Thomas A Sangma, inaugurated a plaque for the college’s upcoming academic building. This project, set to expand campus facilities, is made possible through an additional grant of Rs 5 crore from the Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA).
Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma, in his address, underscored the importance of the new academic infrastructure in enhancing learning spaces. He emphasized the essential role teachers play in fostering a well-rounded education, advocating for a focus on both intellectual and spiritual growth. “Physical infrastructure only achieves its purpose if we deliver meaningful educational outcomes,” he remarked, calling for educators across the state to embrace a knowledge-centered approach.
The minister also expressed satisfaction with the launch of the college’s new website and construction progress, while stressing the need to improve education quality in South Garo Hills. “Let’s not play the blame game but work together to strengthen our schools,” he urged, affirming the government’s commitment to advancing education in Meghalaya.
The celebration saw a notable gathering of dignitaries, including Education Minister Rakkam A Sangma, Baghmara MLA Kartush R Marak, Chokpot MLA S.N. Sangma, Education Department Adviser H.M. Sangpliang, MDC Natwal S Marak, Education Secretary Ambrose Marak, and Director of Higher and Technical Education H.D.B. Sangma.
Speaker Thomas A Sangma, the event’s Chief Guest, highlighted the dual significance of celebrating both the college’s foundation day and its new infrastructure initiative. “We are not merely building walls; we are shaping dreams for a community that will educate future generations,” he stated.
He extended congratulations to the faculty and staff for their dedication to the college’s growth and urged students to aim for excellence, inspiring them to become agents of progress in their communities.
