GHSS Hija is among 14 government schools in Arunachal Pradesh adopted by Community-Based Organisations (CBOs) under an initiative spearheaded by Tanii Supuñ Dukuñ, the Apex Council of Apatani.

The initiative seeks to strengthen the relationship between educational institutions and the communities they serve by encouraging greater local participation and shared responsibility for the development of government schools.

The school adoption model reflects a broader approach towards mobilising community resources, institutional support and alumni networks to contribute to educational development. Organisers believe that the involvement of former students can help create stronger support systems for students and contribute to the long-term growth of the institution.

The launch of the Alumni Association therefore represents more than a reunion of former students. It creates a formal platform through which alumni can remain connected with their alma mater and participate in initiatives aimed at improving institutional facilities, student opportunities and community engagement.

Speakers and organisers at the programme acknowledged the efforts of the school authorities and members of the Alumni Association in bringing former students together under a common platform.

With the formation of the association, GHSS Hija has opened a new chapter focused on sustained institutional development, stronger community partnerships and greater alumni participation in shaping the educational future of the region.

The first Alumni Meet concluded with a message of collective responsibility, with former students and community stakeholders expressing their commitment to contributing to the continued growth of the institution and the future of its students.
