PASIGHAT, 25 Jan: The lone Sainik school of the state at Niglok near Ruksin in East Siang district is conducting an advanced-level coaching for 30 students from nearby villages to get them prepared for the upcoming Sainik school entrance examination.
In this connection a mid-course meet for the ‘Super-30’ students and their parents was held on Sunday wherein Pasighat West MLA Ninong Ering, Naval Officer, Commander Karambir Bhadana, IAF Squadron Leader Dr Sunita Bhadana and NCC Commander Lt Col Mandip Singh Niijar motivated the students and their parents. Adi Baane Kebang President Er. Getom Borang, its Women's Wing President Olen Megu Damin, Youth Wing President Joluk Minung were among others present on the occasion.
The Naval Officer, IAF Squadron Leader and NCC Commander shared their experiences and offered suggestions to the parents of the ‘Super-30’ students on how they can help their children in joining the armed forces. Speaking on the sidelines of the meet, Sainik School Principal Lt Col Rajesh Singh urged the parents to help their children in getting prepared for the upcoming entrance examination as there are no local quota reservations to get admission. “This is an initiative of the school authority to make the locals aware of the enrolment procedures of Sainik Schools. We have taken 30 students from 30 villages within a radius of 8 km of the school under the neighbourhood-first initiative and most of them are girls (18 girls and 12 boys) and the coaching will help them in cracking the examination,” Lt Col Singh added.
Ering who is supporting the coaching initiative by sponsoring the entire fooding expenses of the students urged the guardians to guide their children properly. He commended the efforts made by the school’s principal and his team to impart quality education. He also handed over the keys of an ambulance to the principal for use during medical emergencies. The ABK representatives while  appreciating the noble initiative for the locals, also submitted a memorandum to the school authority demanding a special reservation in Group C and D jobs for local communities, particularly the land donors. Responding to it, the principal informed that locals have already been placed in all Groups including A, B, C and D.
Dubom Eko, a student from Depi village appreciated the coaching and was hopeful of cracking the exam.
