SAGALEE- A newly constructed Assembly Shed at the Government Girls’ Residential School in Sarkha Happa, Nimte, was formally inaugurated on Friday by Vishakha Yadav, Deputy Commissioner of Papum Pare district. The event was attended by Mrs Yame Higio, ADC Sagalee, along with education officials, community leaders and parents.
In her address, DC Vishakha Yadav reflected on her earlier visit to the school in July 2025, where she had interacted with students and teachers in an open area used for school gatherings. She said that the interaction made her aware of the infrastructural challenges, and the construction of the Assembly Shed was a direct response to that need.
She expressed satisfaction that the school had already been able to use the newly built shed for its Annual School Week celebrations, including cultural performances. Advising the students to stay focused on their goals, she emphasised the importance of balancing academics with mental well-being and regular physical activity.
