TEZU, Nov 11: A Community Mobilisation Programme (CMP) on ‘Infrastructure Development and Examination Preparedness for the Academic Session 2026–27’, organized by the Department of Education, Lohit district under Samagra Shiksha (ISSE), was held at the DC’s conference hall here today.
The programme was held under the chairmanship of local MLA Dr Mohesh Chai, in presence of Lohit Deputy Commissioner Kesang Ngurup Damo, ZPMs Gulabso Bellai (Sunpura) & Baplalum Chiba (Tezu), District BJP president Gamso Bellai, and others.
Addressing the gathering, the MLA stressed the need for systematic planning, rationalisation of school infrastructure and effective monitoring to improve the overall quality of education in the district. He stated that his priority is to develop Tezu into an educational hub and transform its educational landscape into a model worthy of emulation.
Highlighting the importance of efficient project implementation, he suggested that whenever an approved infrastructure project involves dismantling an existing school structure, proposals for dismantling and new construction should be processed simultaneously to avoid unnecessary delays and ensure smooth execution.
The MLA further underscored the importance of resolving issues at the local level wherever possible, instead of unnecessarily waiting for directions from higher authorities. He urged officials to take timely decisions within their jurisdiction to ensure prompt resolution of problems.
He advised field-level functionaries, particularly Block Resource Coordinators (BRCs) and Cluster Resource Coordinators (CRCs), to undertake regular field visits and closely monitor the functioning, infrastructure requirements and challenges faced by schools. He also urged the concerned officials to promptly bring urgent matters to the notice of local public representatives for immediate deliberation and possible resolution.
Emphasizing the need for modern educational facilities, Dr Chai stated that government schools must be equipped with quality infrastructure comparable to that of private institutions so that students studying in government schools feel equally confident, motivated and valued.
Reiterating his commitment to educational development, the MLA expressed his vision of making Tezu a prominent educational hub with improved infrastructure, quality learning facilities and better academic outcomes.
On the occasion, DDSE-cum-DPO Lohit Tumngam Nyodu through a PPT presentation highlighted the progress of ongoing school infrastructure development works, key achievements, challenges and issues requiring attention. She also stressed the need for better coordination, regular monitoring and timely completion of projects to strengthen educational facilities across the district.
The programme aimed to strengthen community participation and coordination among public representatives, the District Administration, Panchayati Raj Institutions and educational stakeholders for improving school infrastructure and ensuring better examination preparedness during the academic session 2026–27.
