Speaking on the occasion, Minister Taki applauded the yeomen contribution of young and enterprising newspaper editor turned gaon-bura Yachang Tacho, who had earlier published a weekly newspaper ‘The Subansiri’ and now devoted to the cause of gaon buras-buris of the District.
The work of Yachang Tacho in devising a short-term English education course for the illiterate gaon buras-buris which even attracted national media attention is indeed worth appreciating and I urge other like-minded citizens of Ziro Plateau to come forward and devise similar innovative and practical initiatives for the betterment of Ziro Plateau and its people, said Taki.
Informing that the District Administration had provided the essential reading and writing materials to gaon bura-buri school the previous year, DC Bamin Nime said he was moved by the enthusiasm and positive spirit of the elderly red coated village custodians who wanted to read and write defying their age barriers.
