Shillong, Jul 10: For the people of Kambakpara village in South West Garo Hills, the inauguration of a new government lower primary school building today marked the beginning of a new chapter in the village’s long journey towards better educational opportunities.
The newly constructed building of Kambakpara Government LP School was inaugurated by Mahendraganj MLA Sanjay A Sangma in the presence of government officials, village elders, teachers, students and residents.
The occasion brought together generations of villagers, many of whom had once studied in the school that has served the community for almost seven decades.
Village leader Rev IA Sangma recalled that the school was established in 1957 as a venture school and has since remained a cornerstone of primary education for children from the village and neighbouring areas. He said the new school building fulfilled a long-cherished aspiration of the community and would provide a better learning environment for future generations.
In his address, Sanjay A Sangma reaffirmed the state government’s commitment to strengthening educational infrastructure across Meghalaya. The MLA also highlighted several ongoing and upcoming development initiatives across the Mahendraganj constituency, such as indoor stadiums and mini stadiums that would be developed in different parts of the constituency to encourage sports and promote holistic development among young people.
