The inaugural Changlang Shiksha Samvaad was held in Changlang district on Saturday, marking a significant milestone in the Shikshagraha movement’s efforts to promote education equity.
A key highlight of the event was a discussion between Changlang DC Vishal Sah and DDSE Rajiv Lamdok, who emphasized the importance of systemic alignment, collaborative governance, empowered schools, active community participation, and shared accountability in improving learning outcomes. The district administration reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening partnerships and creating an enabling environment where every child has access to quality education.
The programme featured two thematic panel discussions, exploring the role of partnerships and collective leadership in transforming public education. The first panel, ‘Partners in Education Transformation’, brought together leaders from civil society organisations to discuss the importance of trust, shared ownership, and meaningful partnerships in advancing educational transformation.
Panellists highlighted the potential for collaboration between government, civil society organisations, and local communities to create sustainable change and expand learning opportunities for children, particularly in underserved and remote areas. The second panel, ‘Strengthening Alignment and Collective Accountability: Voices from the Education Ecosystem’, brought together block resource centre coordinators, school leaders, teachers, and school management committee representatives to discuss translating policy into classroom practice.
The discussion focused on stronger instructional leadership, teacher empowerment, community engagement, and coordinated action across the education system. The event concluded with renewed optimism and a shared commitment among government agencies, educators, civil society organisations, community leaders, and development partners to translate dialogue into sustained action.
The programme was attended by former minister Komli Mossang, founder and chairperson of Arunachal Orphan Care Society Reena Longri, Diyun ZPM Chow Sache Singpho, block resource centre coordinators, headmasters, teachers, school management committee members, representatives of civil society organisations, and education partners from across the district.
