Imphal, July 10:
FEGOCTA, the apex body of the Government College teachers in Manipur, congratulates the MP, Dr Rajkumar Ranjan on his appointment as the Union Minister of State in the Ministry of Education and External Affairs, Government of India.
It is a matter of pride for the people of Manipur and North East India that Dr Ranjan has been given important responsibilities in the field of education and foreign policy. FEGOCTA as an academic and intellectual group would provide inputs in the making and implementation of national higher education policies. FEGOCTA sincerely hopes that there will be a positive transformation in the education sector particularly in North East India and Manipur. Dr Ranjan’s long career and experiences in the field of higher education will be a great help in his new responsibility and future endeavours. Education and foreign policy are the critical areas in the globalised era for North East India which is facing challenges in the education sector and foreign relations. The region is almost surrounded by the five neighbouring countries of Bangladesh, Myanmar, China, Bhutan and Nepal. There should be serious efforts to resolve old issues and improve relations with the neighbouring countries as well as ASEAN countries.
FEGOCTA also congratulates Sarbananda Sonowal and Kiren Rijiju on their appointments as the Union Cabinet Ministers. It is expected that inputs and suggestions from the governments and people of North-East India will be taken more seriously. It is hoped that some qualitative changes will take place in the life of the people, politics and governance in the region.
