Education Minister Thokchom Radheshyam urged to all stakeholders to make education sector a free zone. He stressed that education in the State will only grow and progress when all the hindrances like bandh, blockade and pressure for individual interest on the educational institutions is prevented.

Every educational institution imparts knowledge educating the young minds for a better society. He appealed not to indulge in any form of violence and destruction in the educational institution and to encroach on the school property. He said violence in any form brings only damage to society.
Th. Radheshyam congratulating the UNACCO Social Development Trust UNACCO School, Meitram on the inauguration of the second school said that the school will have huge contribution in the education sector. These schools also need to be established at the hill districts too.

Recollecting the experiences of the visit, he said that the conditions of the villages at the border of the State are in a very poor condition.

Children need to be made innovative and creative rather than live in the world of copy and paste.
