ITANAGAR: As part of B.Ed. curriculum, the teacher trainees of the Education Department at Rajiv Gandhi University (RGU) organized a day-long campaign on Monday to raise awareness about ‘corruption’ among the community members in the Doimukh and Nirjuli areas of the Papumpare district. The campaign was aimed at educating the people about corruption and generating community responsibility for preventing and countering corruption.
The IV semester teacher trainees covered different localities with banners and slogans and performed skits showing examples of how corruption is eating society and how it affects the lives of every member of the community, a press release informed here. The act also taught the public to say no to bribery for a better future. They also had one-on-one interactions with the people to make the local community members more aware of the need to stop corruption.
Briefing the press, assistant professor and programme coordinator Dr Tage Monju Burman said, “To ensure a better tomorrow, teachers and parents should work together to develop the correct ethical behaviour among the students, for somewhere, greed for money and selfish human nature drive people to corrupt practices.” Another coordinator of the programme, Dr. Anga Padu, exhorted the students to contemplate the role that each trainee can play in eliminating corruption from society through creating awareness.
Further, the coordinators expressed their gratitude to the dean of the education department, Prof. T. Lhundgim, the head of the department, Prof. P. K. Acharya, and all faculty members for their cooperation in making the programme successful.
