Dimapur, April 2: The minister for Higher and Technical Education Temjen Imna Along inaugurated a government polytechnic institution at Seithekiema ‘C’ in Dimapur on April 2.
The institution is informed to be set up on 30 acres of land. The institution will provide technical studies such as civil engineering. Other training courses will be added in the years to come, it was informed.
Addressing the event was commissioner-secretary for Higher and Technical Education Dellirose Sakhrie. In her remarks, she said that the main objective of setting up the polytechnic was to create ‘trained skilled manpower.’
Also, the minister for Higher and Technical Education Along appealed to the village’s elders and council to treat the institute as ‘part of the family and to take it to new heights in the days to come.’
“There should be participation of the people for the progress of this institute,” the minister said. He encouraged the people to ‘make Nagaland a centre of education and compete with rest of the country in terms of technical education.’
‘Each and everyone gathered at the event is an ‘equal stakeholder’ and should make effort in creating professionals because it is most needed in today’s day and age,’ he added.
The first batch for civil engineering is set to start in July this year.
