Shillong: Captain Williamson Sangma State University hosted a joint celebration for National Education Day and Children’s Day on Wednesday. The event took place at the Tura Campus in Balalgre. The Department of Education teamed up with the Departments of Sociology, Social Work, and Zoology to run the day under the theme The Power of Youth in Co-creating Education.
Registrar Ambrose Ch. Marak opened the session. He spoke about the legacy of India’s first Education Minister, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. He pushed for early discipline to build character. Gifts went to the children in attendance. The school hosted a variety of contests. Students faced off in extempore speech, essay writing, caption writing, and quiz competitions.
The Department of Social Work managed the fun stuff. Sociology, Education, and Zoology oversaw the academic battles. These events gave students a stage to show off their wits and communication skills. Deputy Registrar Singje Ch. Marak closed the event by defining a fresh way to build a curriculum. She advocates for the Five Hs: Head, Heart, Hand, Health, and Humanity. She noted that a "holistic approach to education should promote intellectual growth, emotional well-being, practical skills, physical health and human values."
The day ended with trophy and certificate hand-outs for the winners. Dr. Kanika Das delivered the final vote of thanks. Everyone stood for the National Anthem. The university aims to keep students active in building the future of the state education system.
