Sona added that the signing of the MoU marks an important step towards fulfilling the educational aspirations of the people of Shi Yomi and strengthening the foundation for future generations.

The VKV is expected to bring the institution’s established educational values and experience closer to students in the district, promoting academic excellence, discipline, character-building and all-round development.

The state government also expressed gratitude to all stakeholders involved in the initiative and reiterated its commitment to improving educational infrastructure and expanding access to quality education, particularly in remote and frontier districts.
