Agartala, November 05, 2023: Agartala Public School, English Medium on Sunday organized “Subeccha Binimoy Anusthan” in the school premises at Baldakhal, Chandrapur with the gracious presence of Old Agartala RD Block chairman Biswajit Shil, eminent social worker Amit Nandi, Paschim Tripura Zilla Parishad member Biswajit Das, retired teacher Tapas Chakraborty and School’s secretary Arun Nath.
At the outset, Agartala Public School’s students along with Music teacher Monalisa Banik performed the welcome presence followed by the speech of retired teacher Tapas Chakraborty who had highlighted the prime motive of the school towards the students and society as well.
Addressing the programme, social worker Amit Nandi expressed his happiness towards the school authority, teachers and students for initiating such a beautiful programme after the ‘Bijoya Dashami’ and upcoming ‘Deepawali’ festival. He also appreciated the school’s untiring efforts in overcoming various obstacles during its journey from nursery to class VIII. He expressed his hope for the school’s continued growth in the days ahead. He also claimed that the MLA Ratan Chakraborty will extend support to the school in near future. “If necessary, they will extend cooperation to the school”, Nandi added.
Speaking at the event, Old Agartala RD Block chairman Biswajit Shil said that there has been many reforms in the Education sector after the formation of BJP-led government. Citing an instance, he said that the lone Pallimangal HS School in Khayerpur assembly constituency was in good condition from the front view, but the scenario was miserable after going for an inspection.
“Later, we found that the other schools infrastructures’ were also in dilapidated condition. We also found a school which is about 73 years old have no electricity, chairs, tables and benches, even lacks drinking water facility also. Even the lone Old Agartala English Medium has no infrastructure. After the change in government, Rs 8.53 crore has been sanctioned for overall renovation and procurement of necessary infrastructures. Our government initiated all efforts to boost up the education sector in every way”, he added.
Praising the role of Agartala Public School, Shil said that the school is playing a pivotal role in decorating students’ future. He said that the teachers and students have to give their complete effort in crafting a good name and fame for the Agartala Public School and this can only be achieved through the results in Madhyamik examination. He said that the school can play a crucial role in making ‘Shrestha Khayerpur’.
Agartala Public School’s secretary and veteran journalist Arun Nath said “Most of the guardians want their children to study in CBSE-affiliated school. Due to shortage of land, the school authority could not apply for it. Till date, there is little less from the desired 2.5 ‘Kaanis’ of land. We are hopeful that the rest will be acquired soon and apply for affiliation.”
“The Block chairman claimed that the MLA Ratan Chakraborty has sanctioned Rs 3.5 lakh for Agartala Public School from his fund. But, the school authority has not received any fund from the MLA. Till date, I haven’t taken any fund from anyone. But it is not possible without financial support. It’s my appeal to the personalities present in this event to extend their cooperation and support for the development of school and welfare of the students. It is our target to make Jirania sub-division number one in the entire state. Our motive is to bring out jewels from our school”, Nath told the gathering.
