The teachers urged the former students to do charitable work for the uplift of the common people and society.
The alumni recalled their school days and expressed their gratitude to the teachers and the school for their contribution towards building their careers. They said that Assamese-medium schools are in no way inferior to English schools in building careers and moulding personalities.
