`Education alone can eradicate corruption`

IMPHAL, January 3: The Democratic Students’ Alliance of Manipur today observed its 10th foundation day at the Johnstone Higher Secondary School under the theme ‘liberate education from corruption’ with director college development council Manipur University, RK Ranjan as chief guest and DESAM president, LC Santosh as president and advocate Dr Ch Narendra as guest of honour.

Highlighting the importance of education, RK Ranjan in his speech stated that the people of the state should be well educated and enlightened on the importance of education in order to bring peace and development in the state.

Corruption can only be eradicated with education, and it would be wrong to assume that there are a lot of educated persons in the state which is evident from the fact that the state is witnessing the emergence of higher education only recently, he stated.

He further elaborated on the role of the individual families in bringing education to the state. Elders and parents should not allow their wards to think of going to school as making a fashion statement, and should encourage their wards to be well discipline and obedient.

However the time is such that the elders are encouraging their wards to imbibe wrong habits from a young age by introducing the children to motors and bikes at a young age, he averred.

He also added that the times has changed a lot, as, in the past, the elders of the families used to chide their wards however in the present situation, the elders instead of chiding their wards are only encouraging their wards to imbibe bad habits.

He further charged the ever spreading corruption amongst the teachers of the state for the decreasing morality amongst the students of the state. He further urged the people of the state to work together to eradicate corruption from the state and bring development in the state.

Meanwhile, PC Newton advisor of the student body blamed lack of co-operation from the people for the degrading condition of the government schools in the state.

In order to bring development in the state, the people should first bring an educated society in the state, he added.

He further blamed the inability of the government to act swiftly to the demands of the various bodies of teachers and students for the degradation of education in the state.

He also appealed to the government to act swiftly into the demands made by various bodies in connection with developing education in the state.

As part of observing its foundation day, the student body further launched its website www.desaminfo.org.

Seven teachers of the state were also awarded with the Chingmu Maichou Khongnangthaba award.
