Arunachal Pradesh Education Minister P.D. Sona, accompanied by Commissioner (Education), Shri Amjad Tak, called on Arunachal Pradesh Governor, Lt Gen KT Parnaik at Lok Bhavan in Itanagar on Tuesday.
The overall educational scenario in the State was reviewed while detailed discussions were held on strengthening institutions of higher learning, with particular emphasis on the Jarbom Gamlin Government Law College in Jote.
The Governor emphasised measures to address existing challenges and improve academic, administrative and infrastructural standards to better meet the aspirations of students and faculty members.
Drawing from his recent observations, the Governor also emphasised the need for timely corrective measures and accelerated infrastructure development at the Law College.
He said that, as the only Government Law College in Arunachal Pradesh, the institution carries a special responsibility and must evolve into a model centre of legal education.
He expressed confidence that a strong and vibrant law college would produce competent legal professionals capable of contributing meaningfully to the State’s judicial system, governance, and rule of law.
The Education Minister assured the Governor of corrective measures being taken by the Department.
The Governor also expressed concern regarding issues related to the North Eastern Regional Institute of Science and Technology (NERIST) and underscored the need for sustained efforts to strengthen the institution.
He advised the Education Department to explore the establishment of Common University Entrance Test (CUET) examination centres within Arunachal Pradesh to provide greater convenience and equal opportunities to students.
Appreciating the Department’s reform-oriented approach, the Governor commended the Education Minister for implementing the rationalized teacher transfer system through the Teachers’ Registry Portal.
He said that the initiative would enhance transparency, accountability, and equitable deployment of teachers across the State, ultimately contributing to improved learning outcomes and a stronger education system.
