The two-day Silver Jubilee celebrations of the All Nagaland Private School Association (ANPSA) Dimapur unit concluded with much fanfare on November 4 at Holy Cross Higher Secondary School, Dimapur.

Speaking at the celebration, Sukhalu congratulated ANPSA Dimapur unit for completing a milestone and also lauded private schools for contributing towards education in the state.

"The work of the private school is appreciable," said Sukhalu while encouraging them to continue with the good work. Compared with other districts, he said private schools in Dimapur were doing much better.

Sukhalu also acknowledged the fact that private schools were doing much better than government schools in the state in terms of enrolment.
