The inauguration programme was attended by the Additional District Magistrate of Khowai, the Block Development Officer of Tulashikhar and other officials.

The newly inaugurated facilities are aimed at creating a better learning environment at Asharambari Higher Secondary School and strengthening educational infrastructure in the surrounding area.
