Education plays a huge role in shaping up the best of any nation’s future. No nation can grow or develop when the quality of education system of the nation is poor.
As an initiative to improve the condition of Government schools of the State for overall development in shaping future pillars of the society, Chief Minister of Manipur Shri N. Biren Singh launched School Fagathansi Mission (Go To School)under Go To Village Mission on 18 January 2019 at Yumnam Huidrom High School, Wangoi in Imphal West District.

Speaking at the launch event, Chief Minister had stated that the Government intends to put special focus on improving the quality of Government institutions in the state as the economic condition of the common people is not improving despite of the government’s efforts as they generally spend huge amount of money in children’s education. He also expressed his hope about the new mission in earning back the long-lost trust of the people towards Government schools. He also urged all the concerned authorities and committees to extend cooperation to local people, educationalists, local club members and Meira Paibee leaders as the success of the mission strongly required their participation. He also stated selected schools under the mission will be managed by re-defined management committees in addition to the existing school management committees.
