AGARTALA: Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha said on Friday that real education enables individuals to establish themselves in society and reiterated the state government's commitment to nurturing excellent students in every school across the state through sustained improvements in the education system.
Laying the foundation stone of the new building of a high school at Bhattapukur in West Tripura recalling the institution's history, the Chief Minister said Bapuji Vidyamandir began its journey in January 1953 after Nabin Chandra Chakraborty donated the land for its establishment.
He acknowledged the contributions of several individuals, including Bhupesh Chakraborty, Surindra Das, Indra Kumar Das and Kartik Chakraborty, in building the institution.
Highlighting the cultural significance of 'bhoomi pujan' (a sacred Hindu ritual performed before starting construction), the Chief Minister said the ceremony is deeply connected to reverence for the motherland.
