SRINAGAR, Mar 10: Member Legislative Council (MLC) Mohammad Khurshid Alam today asked the teaching and the student fraternity to understand the essence of education in its real sense and work with earnest efforts to make the society a better place to live in.
Alam was addressing the students and teachers at the Gandhi Memorial College of Srinagar where he launched the annual college magazine ‘Sangarmaal’.
Alam in his address asserted the Gandhi Memorial College is of the historical significance in the summer capital of the state and has produced the great sons of the soil since its inception.  He added that the overall development of the college and ensuring quality education to its students would be amongst his topmost priorities.
He further said that the college has served in best of its abilities and has been witness to both prosperous and tumultuous times in the state.
“Time has come when the significance of this college would no longer be ignored or undermined and the present government is making hectic efforts to revolutionize the system of education in the state. I can assure you with certainty that the issues pertaining to the staff and the students of the college would be resolved without any delay,” Alam said.
The PDP leader also interacted with the staff members of the college and gave a patient hearing to their grievances. He suggested modernization of the classrooms and college campus so that the College once again becomes a hub of quality learning.
On the occasion, the MLC also donated a bus for the college from his constituency development fund. He said the donation is made to fulfill a promise he made to the college authorities earlier this year.
