Deplorable condition of schools in Poi village

From John K. Kaping UKHRUL, April 6: The future of the Poi Village government run Primary and Junior High Schools’is in a deplorable condition as the government schools established during 1961-62 exists only in a “snap-shot” in the record of the most neglected status. Poi village situated in the extreme North of Ukhrul District just below the Somra track range mountain bordering Myanmar,along the Indo-Burma Border Pillar NO.126,127 and 128 and is located some 65 km away from Ukhrul Headquarter and at a distance of 25-30 km away from Awang Kasom junction.
The government`s neglecting policies towards the far flung Ukhrul District villages came to light when Ukhrul Correspondent of IFP exclusively had an interaction with the village school`s “master” at the school campus, who is the only under-graduate lady teacher taking the overall in charge of Headmaster for both the 90 students in junior and 100 primary students enrolled in the school as disclosed by the schoolmaster.
She also expressed the present dilapidated condition of both the schools and viewing the bleak future of the students keen to learn but with lack of basic infra structures and without any benches, desks, black boards and tables . Walls of the 5 rooms of the the school`s building in all four sides are badly damaged as the roofs of the school were blown away.
The surroundings of the schools are found overgrown with grass when the report was collected by this correspondent and there is a report of only one chaowkidar appointed. The reason behind to shape and mould the future pillars of students according to the headmistress in-charge is the acute lack of teachers as the students are eagerly found to attend the classes but there are no teachers other than the headmistress who is not in the condition to cater to the needs of the students at present.
Meanwhile in another press conference Organized by the Poi Village authorities in the village, the concerned authorities seriously pointed out the deplorable condition of the schools in the village and the bleak future of the students requiring immediate recruitment of adequate teachers to mould the future careers of the children as almost all the remote villagers cannot afford to send their wards to private schools.
The authorities clearly mentioned that under the programme of BADP 2010-11, the village proposed a budget with the estimation of about Rs 30 lacs to construct the schools infra-structures including 12 to 13 class rooms, staffs rooms, principal`s Office, kitchen but the government had sanctioned for only three classrooms.

IMPHAL April 6: The Revolutionary People’s Front (RPF) in a press release by the outfit’s publicity secretary T Leishema wishes the public a healthy and prosperous future on the eve of the World Health Day which falls on April 7 annually.The release states that since 1948,the World Health Organization (WHO) has been observing the day and the theme of the year is “Anti microbial resistance: no action today, no cure tomorrow”. The true wealth of a person is living a healthy life and if a community is healthy then development comes. The present conditions of the city lies in a deplorable state as there are no motorable roadways and the pollution caused severely affects the health conditions of the individual and such circumstances also led to fatal road mishaps. The elected leaders instead of addressing the issue and taking up developmental works are only concerned with filling their pockets. Time bound works including those taken up around Imphal city has not been met as so promised by the politicians. There are no proper works to counter the global warming issues nor are any taken up to address the health of villagers in both the far flung hill and valley districts and women maternity problems is also another long standing problem, it states.
The Manipuris have an inherent aptitude towards sports and many ethnic sports have been played since time immemorial to maintain the physical capacity. Sports should be encouraged for the welfare of the sportspersons and also for the community, instead rampant corruption is being entertained by those in power and many a talented athlete has been laid to waste following such practices. The responsibility should be borne by the government and correct the wrongs for the better future of the state, the outfit wishes the public a healthy and strive towards building a better society.
