Governor lays foundation stone of Dayanand Vidya Niketan School

Governor of Nagaland, P.B. Acharya attended the foundation stone laying ceremony of Dayanand Vidya Niketan School at Purana Bazar, Dimapur on November 21.

According to DIPR report, Acharya said that Nagaland was known for producing the best chilli and ginger. Therefore, he requested Mahashay Dharampal Gulati, founder of MDH, to invest in Nagaland.

He said that people nowadays, being obsessed with learning English, are forgetting the culture and languages of India so that Hindi should be given more importance as it was considered the common linking language of India. He also stressed that the university and educational institutions should provide quality education so that the students could be the job creators instead of job seekers. Minister of School Education & SCERT, Yitachu said that Hindi was of equal importance which could break the language barrier.

IMDH: Acharya had also visited Imkongliba Memorial District Hospital (IMDH) Mokokchung  to inaugurate the first of its kind in the hospital, the colposcope machine on November 17. 

Medical Superintendent, IMDH, Dr Medem and senior gynaecologist, Dr Ademla said the Colposcope machine, worth Rs. four lakh was purchased from IMDH welfare fund to help reduce morbidity and mortality associated with cervical cancer. Dr. Ademla said that Colposcope was used in screening of women for cervical cancer and studies the cervical cells under high magnification and identifies abnormal and precancerous changes in them.
