Kohima: Nagaland Minister for Higher Education and Tourism, Temjen Imna Along, officially opened the new Science and Arts blocks at Pfutsero Government College on June 4. The project, which saw the Science Block completed in just two years, marks a significant step in the state government's effort to expand educational infrastructure and improve local human resources.
The Science Block cost Rs 4.7 crore to build and spans 936 square metres. It features seven classrooms, three laboratories for Biology, Physics and Chemistry, and dedicated office spaces for faculty members. The new Arts Block, constructed at a cost of Rs 4.4 crore, provides an additional 856 square metres of space containing ten classrooms and faculty facilities.
During the event, Minister Along expressed his hope for continued developmental projects in the region. Neisatuo Mero also addressed the assembly, urging faculty members to maintain high standards of professionalism. He noted, "Students closely observe their teachers' teaching, behaviour and conduct."
Principal Anungla Pongener welcomed the expansion but noted the college still requires essential upgrades. These include new laboratory equipment, furniture, improved road access, reliable internet, and student hostels. The inaugural ceremony included a dedicatory prayer and the unveiling of a commemorative plaque before moving to the old campus for formal proceedings.
