“You have to take the responsibility to reach the light of education to all the children and there is no alternative to it,” he reminded them.

He was addressing the celebration meeting of centenary founding anniversary festival 2020 of Kadirganj Government Primary School in the city on Friday as the chief guest.

The mayor urged the teachers to groom up the students with imparting quality education as well as developing a sense of moral values. “If students should be given proper education, they will be transformed into worthy citizens,” he added. Liton said the present government has pledged to ensure quality primary education for the sake of freeing the nation from the curse of illiteracy.

He also listed the government’s manifold development activities including development of school infrastructure, ensuring supply of safe drinking water, introduction of uniform education and stipends for disadvantaged children.
