After visiting the schools, Governor Prof. Asim Kumar Ghosh, while addressing the parents and students present at the programme, said that the holistic development of children is possible only when parents and teachers jointly discharge their responsibilities. He said education is not limited to books alone, but sports, health, discipline and moral values also play an important role in the holistic development of children. He said it is essential to provide better basic facilities in schools, with clean water, toilets and sports equipment being among the key requirements. He said the government is continuously making efforts to develop these facilities and a special budget is also being made available in this direction.

Parents Should Identify Children’s Talents and Encourage Them to Move Forward

He expressed confidence that through joint efforts, the future of children can be made bright and they can become responsible citizens of the country.
