Agartala, Nov 12 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually inaugurate a new Eklavya Model Residential School (EMRS) at Manikpur in Tripura’s Dhalai district on November 15, an initiative expected to expand access to quality education for tribal students in remote areas, an MLA said on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The residential institution is expected to benefit students from Chawmanu, Longtharai Valley and adjoining tribal-dominated areas, where geographical constraints often make access to advanced educational facilities difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chawmanu MLA Shambhu Lal Chakma said preparations were underway for the inauguration programme and expressed confidence that the institution would create new educational opportunities for students from the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tribal Welfare Minister Bikash Debbarma is also expected to attend the programme, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ahead of the inauguration, Chakma visited the school campus to review the infrastructure and assess the arrangements. He was accompanied by the Additional District Magistrate of Dhalai, the Sub-Divisional Magistrate of Longtharai Valley and other senior officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team inspected the available facilities and reviewed administrative and logistical arrangements to ensure that the institution was ready for the inauguration, officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The school is expected to provide students from remote villages with access to modern educational infrastructure and residential facilities, reducing the difficulties faced by families whose children have to travel long distances to pursue their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chakma said the institution would play an important role in improving educational opportunities for tribal students and help young people from the region compete at a broader academic level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He expressed hope that the school would nurture local talent and contribute to the overall development and empowerment of tribal communities in Dhalai district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Centre’s Eklavya Model Residential School scheme aims to provide quality education to students belonging to Scheduled Tribe communities, particularly those living in tribal-dominated and remote regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The programme envisages well-equipped residential schools with modern infrastructure, academic facilities and opportunities for the all-round development of tribal students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Manikpur institution is expected to strengthen Tripura’s tribal education infrastructure and address the shortage of quality educational facilities in underserved areas of the state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
