ZIRO, Nov 7: The Alumni Association of Govt Hr Sec School (GHSS), Hija conducted its maiden alumni meet today.
The gathering brought together prominent leaders, educators, and community members. The event was graced by Mutchu Mithi, MLA-cum-Advisor to the Ministers of Home and Education, as chief guest.
MLA Hage Appa, and Tapi Tai, Chief Engineer (Power) and general secretary AITF, joined the event, alongside the active participation of Lower Subansiri DC Oli Perme, lending strong administrative support to the day’s proceedings.
The programme highlighted a step forward for the institution’s future. It was shared during the event that GHSS Hija is proudly one of 14 government schools across Arunachal Pradesh adopted by Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) with this vital initiative spearheaded under the aegis of Tanii Supuñ Dukuñ, the apex body of the Apatanis.
This school adoption model reflects the State Government’s vision of weaving community strength directly into the fabric of public education. By bridging the gap between schools and society, the initiative nurtures a shared sense of ownership, mobilises grassroots support, and turns alumni networks into active catalysts for student success.
Speaking on the occasion, leaders and organisers lauded the unwavering dedication of the school authorities and the Alumni Association for bringing former students back together “under a shared banner of giving back”.
“The collective energy of the day marks the beginning of a promising new chapter, one aimed at sustained institutional growth, deeper community ties, and brighter futures for the youth of Lower Subansiri,” it was felt. (DIPRO)
