Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Saturday inaugurated an advanced AI-enabled Career Intelligence Hub at Tamphasana Girls’ Higher Secondary School in Imphal. The newly established facility is designed to help students make well-informed career choices by leveraging technology-based guidance and customized counseling sessions.
Funding and Regional Significance
Established under the Members of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme, this infrastructure milestone represents the first of its kind across the entire Northeast region. The hub is expected to supply students with vital information regarding emerging career avenues while systematically integrating AI-based tools into the state educational framework and career counseling ecosystem. Rajya Sabha MP A. Sharda Devi also participated in the inaugural ceremony alongside the Chief Minister.
Promoting Scientific Thinking and Digital Literacy
The core objective of the initiative is to stimulate scientific thinking, cultivate natural curiosity, and accelerate innovation among local students. It aims to equip youth with relevant career insights tailored to an increasingly technology-driven professional landscape. Addressing the gathered audience, the Chief Minister emphasized that the state administration remains dedicated to elevating educational standards and preparing young minds to address the demands of a rapidly shifting technological environment.
“Our government remains firmly committed to strengthening quality education, imparting scientific learning, and enhancing digital literacy, innovation, and skills in the state,” Khemchand Singh stated while acknowledging the collaborative efforts of Rajya Sabha MP A. Sharda Devi, the Education Department, and the faculty members of the school.
Praise for Student Restraint and Peace Appeal
During the event, the Chief Minister commended the student community for refraining from participating in any agitations over the previous seven to eight months. Praising their remarkable maturity and restraint, he strongly urged them to concentrate entirely on their education and future rather than involving themselves in protests during periods of crisis. He further appealed to both students and the broader public to avoid turning to agitations during challenging times and instead resolve differences through constructive dialogue, stressing that peaceful engagement is vital for achieving lasting peace throughout the state.
State-Level Science Congress Inauguration
In addition to launching the career intelligence hub, Khemchand Singh formally inaugurated the state-level National Children’s Science Congress. This concurrent event was organized by the Manipur Upliftment Centre in active collaboration with Samagra Shiksha, Manipur, further reinforcing educational and scientific engagement in the region.
