SHILLONG, April 8: The Ramakrishna Mission (RKM) Vivekananda Cultural Centre on Saturday distributed over 500 certificates to the meritorious students of Computer and Language trainees during a programme here.
The certificate distribution programme was organised for the 99th batch of computer trainees and the 38th batch of language students, comprising about 700 youths from different parts of the Northeastern states.
Dr Moushumi Dey, Lecturer, Women’s College, Shillong, who was the chief guest during the programme, accentuated the need to possess skill-based education.
“The institute and the students are growing together every single day with the guiding light of Maharaj and the teachers. In today’s world, skill-based education is much more important than just a school or college education. Hence, being skilled in computer and language is very important and can enable one to have a lot of job opportunities, she said.
She also reminded the gathering about the services rendered by the RKM Shillong during the pandemic.
Earlier in his inaugural address, Vairagyachaitanya Maharaj, Deputy in-charge of RKM Shillong, congratulated the students and asked the youths to imbibe the ideas of Swami Vivekananda to be successful in life.
It may be mentioned that Ramakrishna Mission, Shillong, trains about 6,000 youths a year in computer subjects, spread over five sessions.
