under ‘Operation Sadbhavana’ to the local population. The event was inaugurated by Shri

persons present in the ceremony were MDC Singngat and Lungthul.

School Singngat followed by a computer and printer set being given to St Mary’s High

School Beheng and a Bus waiting shed at village Shelbu. The event was attended by locals
in large numbers including Chiefs from border villages.

Singngat as well as Assam Rifles. In order to capitalise on the huge gathering, unit hospital
in collaboration with PHC Singngat conducted a Deworming cum medical awareness
programme for 1374 individuals (from age1-19 years).

4. The purpose of this event was make the local population equal stake holders in the

growth story of the nation. Struck by lack of opportunity and awareness, the attendees were
apprised of various employment opportunities through a career counseling cell established

during the event along with distribution of Rs.45,000/- as scholarship programme for under
privileged and physically challenged students from six schools under various categories from
Singngat.

population, it will serve as harbinger for change and script a new narrative for the

underdeveloped belt towards a mutually beneficial and synergised discourse on the path of
progress and prosperity.
