Speaking to media persons later, the ADDC said that at the higher secondary level, government schools today offer better facilities and teaching faculty. He appealed to the parents to enrol their children in government schools.
Recalling his student days, the ADDC said the school had been beautiful even then, but he was happy to see the addition of a new building, an astro turf and other facilities.
Assuring all possible support for improving the school's infrastructure, the ADDC added that he would also take up the matter with higher authorities so that the history and legacy of the school, established in 1935, could be preserved and sustained.
