Itanagar: Arunachal MLA Tsering Lhamu of Lumla in Tawang district conducted an inspection of the Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) for girls in Lumla, situated near the Indo-China border, on April 3.
During her visit, MLA Lhamu undertook a comprehensive survey of the land proposed for the school’s expansion, engaging in discussions with the village headman and the local community of Pharmey village.
In her discussions with the school’s Principal, MLA Lhamu assessed the infrastructural requirements essential for the institution’s development. She identified key areas that necessitate immediate attention to ensure students have access to an optimal learning environment.
Reiterating her election campaign promise, Lhamu reaffirmed that education remains her top priority, expressing her dedication to transforming Lumla constituency into a model hub of quality education.
The Eklavya Model Residential Schools (EMRSs) are a flagship initiative of the Government of India, aimed at providing quality education to Scheduled Tribe (ST) students from Class VI to XII in remote and tribal regions.
These schools offer modern educational facilities, infrastructure, and holistic development opportunities, ensuring ST students receive the same academic standards and exposure as their non-ST peers.
In Arunachal Pradesh, particularly in border villages, EMRSs serve as a vital institution for ensuring inclusive and equitable education. The establishment and expansion of these schools contribute significantly to community development, empower local youth, and reinforce national integration efforts in strategic regions. The ongoing infrastructural advancements and dedicated leadership of policymakers like MLA Lhamu signal a promising trajectory for the future of education in the state’s remote areas.
MLA Lhamu emphasized, “By investing in our schools and empowering our students, we are laying the groundwork for a brighter and more prosperous future for our region.” Her commitment to educational development is a testament to the state’s dedication to providing quality education to its students, particularly in remote and tribal regions.
