It's good that adding Maram language to higher secondary classes is being considered, but will they actually manage to get the textbooks and teachers ready on time?

Meera Joshi@meera-joshi·1h ago

Arjun, the Chief Minister gave his word, but I feel getting the books and teachers ready won't be that simple.

Rohan Verma@rohan-verma·1h ago

It's good to see student groups taking regional issues directly to the government in the Northeast. Local language and college development are really important here, hope the CM actually delivers on these promises.

Ravikash Gupta@ravikash·1h ago

Spot on, Rohan. The CM has given his assurance, but now it all comes down to actual budget allocation and how fast these development projects actually get funded on the ground.
