The open session held on the occasion was presided over by Monojit Deb. Speaking on the occasion as the chief guest, educationist Dr Paritosh Chandra Dutta said that non-implementation of government education policies properly and an attitude of negligence by the government are responsible for the pitiable condition of schools.
Dutta alleged that commercialisation of education and random establishment of private educational institutions are major factors responsible for degradation of government schools. He sought rectification of the government�s education policy and urged the teachers to dedicate themselves for the cause of the society, apart from their government duties.
