The Home Minister told the House that on May 7 this year, armed militants attacked Z. Choro, Namlee and Wanglee villages in Kamjong district along Myanmar border. The villages are situated very close to the unfenced international border. Replying to a query raised by the Congress MLA Kangujam Ranjit Singh, Govindas Singh said that one person was injured and 23 houses were burnt down in the militants' attack. He added that the state government has assessed the damages in all the villages and estimated the loss of various properties worth more than Rs 5 crore and the reconstruction of the damaged houses has already begun. The Home Minister said that he along with some MLAs visited the border villages with relief materials just after the incident occurred. He noted that the villages are located in remote areas and adequate security arrangements have now been made in the area following the incident. On the question of whether Myanmar-based rebel group Kuki National Front (B faction) was involved in the attack and arson, the Home Minister said.

Manipur to pursue 1951 as base year for NRC with Centre: Home Minister
Imphal, Sep 7 (IANS) Manipur Home Minister Konthoujam Govindas Singh on Monday told that 1951 will be the base year for the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in the state and that the state government will pursue the matter with the Centre in accordance with resolutions adopted by the State Assembly. The Home Minister in the House was replying to a query raised by Opposition Congress MLA Keisham Meghachandra Singh regarding the updation of the NRC in Manipur and the original physical records of the 1951 NRC. He told the House that the records of the 1951 NRC are being traced. Govindas Singh said that the state government alone cannot implement the NRC without the approval of the Union government. As per the resolution adopted by the House on August 5, 2022, the Manipur State Population Commission has already been constituted, he added. The Home Minister said that the issue of NRC should not be taken lightly and the NRC has been implemented in Assam, but it could not still be kept in the public domain. The matter has been pending in the court, he said, adding that the state government has already pursued the Central government to introduce the NRC in the state. The state government again pursued the Central government as per the Assembly resolution on March 1, 2024, reaffirming its earlier resolution. Again on September 2, 2026, the House unanimously passed a resolution reaffirming its earlier decisions. We need to cautiously move the Centre so that it would not fail like that in Assam, Govindas Singh added. Meanwhile, the state Assembly's latest move on September 2 came amid massive agitations by various Civil Society Organisations (CSOs), mainly in the five districts of the Imphal Valley region -- Imphal East, Imphal West, Thoubal, Bishnupur and Kakching -- demanding the updation of the NRC before the conduct of Census-2027. The Campaign for Just and Fair Delimitation (CJFD) and various other CSOs have been holding massive agitations in the Imphal Valley region since August 17, demanding the updation of the NRC before the Census exercise is undertaken. A day before its pre-schedule start, the Central government on August 31 announced to defer the Census-2027 exercise in Manipur amid continuing protests and demands by various CSOs for the updation of the NRC before the conduct of the Census-2027 in the state. Meanwhile, the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), the apex body of the Kuki-Zo tribal community in Manipur, has strongly opposed the demand for the updation of the NRC before the Census operations in 2027. KZC Spokesperson Ginza Vualzong had said that there is no constitutional provision for conducting an NRC exercise exclusively in a particular state. The NRC is a national exercise. The Assam NRC was undertaken pursuant to the Assam Accord of 1985. Therefore, any attempt to conduct an NRC exclusively in Manipur is not only discriminatory but also unconstitutional, he added.

Promoting educationacross country
KVs And JNVs are the two bAt primary and the secondary stages Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) and Jawahar Navodya Vidyalayas (JNVs) are two well known names in the realm of education at central government level in India. Lakhs of students are studying in these central schools. Government of India approved the scheme of KVs in November, 1962 on the recommendations of the 2nd Central Pay Commission which suggested that Government should prepare a scheme to provide uninterrupted education to the wards of the transferrable Central Government employees. The scheme came into existence in 1963. The founder of JNV scheme is Late Mr. Rajiv Gandhi, former Prime Minister of India, who established JNV in 1986. It is a network of Government of India run schools specifically crafted to offer quality education to the underprivileged rural talented students. Though both these centrally administered prominent educational institutions have a common objective of providing quality education to children regardless of their socio-economic background yet they vary in their approaches and focus to achieve the end result briefly described as follows. KVs:- It is one of the worlds largest chain of such schools and the largest one in India. KVs provide a common syllabus and methodology of imparting education and are meant to ensure that children of central government employees do not face educational disadvantages when their parents are transferred from one place to another place of posting. KVs make the education comparatively affordable as fee is generally much less than private schools. They focus more on the mainstream academics. They have stronger emphasis on military type discipline and training with career in defence requirements. Extracurricular activities are relatively vast. They adopt National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) curriculum and are affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). All the schools are co-educational and offer classes from 1st to 12th and emphasize a structured teaching role in urban areas . The medium of instruction is primarily Hindi and English. They offer a wide range of subjects like English, Hindi, Science, Sanskrit, Work Experience, Arts, Social Studies, Maths, Physical and Health Education etc. For opening a new KV school 2.5 acres of land are required. JNVs:- JNVs too adopt NCERT curriculum and are affiliated to CBSE. They provide residential quality education to the talented students from class 6th class to 12th class. They lay stress on grooming meritorious students from rural areas. Linked to merit based entrance test they are marked for academic brilliance and a peculiar atmosphere offered for otherwise disadvantaged children and that is further substantiated by their performance at Board examinations. Their extracurricular activities are comparatively limited. However, JNV has a more competitive environment due to availability of limited number of seats as compared to KVs. JNVs provide a common core curriculum and ensure comparability in standards to facilitate understand the common and composite culture & civilization of people. For getting admission in JNV a candidate must be between the age group of 13-15 years on 1st May of the year of admission. The selection test is conducted by CBSE which is called Jawahar Navodya Vidyalaya Selection Test. Each JNV is a co-educational residential institution giving free boarding and lodging, text books, school uniforms, to and fro bus/rail fare and stationery to the inmates. Both KVs and JNVs under the aegis of Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, hold recruitment examinations for teaching and non-teaching purposes across the country for various posts of trained graduate teachers, post graduate teachers, primary teachers and non-teaching posts thus creating employment for thousands of youth and livelihood for lakhs of people. On 6/12/2024 the Union Cabinet sanctioned 85 new KVs and 28 new JNVs at an approved outlay of Rs.8,231 crore for establishing these schools. Jammu and Kashmir will have the highest number of 13 new KVs while Arunachal Pradesh will receive the highest number of 18 new JNVs. These are in addition to the currently functional 1,256 KVs and 653 JNVs making a total of 1,341 and 681 respectively. Before these 50 new schools were approved by BJP Government in March 2019 and in February 2014 the UPA Government had sanctioned 54 schools just ahead of Lok Sabha elections. The 85 KVs will be established within a span of eight years commencing from 2025-26 while as 28 JNVs will be created during five years beginning from 2024-25. These schools are expected to create additional enrollment capacity for about 10,000 students with employment generation for nearly 6,600 new posts. The new KVs are spread across 19 States and Union Territories. The criterion behind the districts chosen for sanctioning new KVs has been clarified by a senior government official who said, New Kendriya Vidyalayas are created based on demand which means we usually establish a new school where there are at least 500 families of Central Government employees. For instance in Jammu & Kashmir a large number has been approved to cater to the families of the many CRPF personnel posted there. To give you another example, in Andhra Pradesh we have approved a KV in a district where the revenue department has started a new training institution. The official elaborated, As for the JNVs, a large number has been for three North-Eastern States-Arunachal Pradesh, Assam and Manipur- a decision strategically aimed at opening more schools in border States of the region.Six JNVs were cleared for Assam and three for Manipur. These three States account for 17 of the new 28 JNVs. Although all these schools (54 of 2014 and 50 of 2019) have started functioning many are operating from temporary premises. So this time the Union Cabinet has decided that a new KV or new JNV shall not start functioning not even from temporary premises, unless the land for the permanent campus of the institutions has been transferred by the State Government or the Defence Ministry whichever is applicable in the case, the official said. This condition can be a barrier in achieving the ultimate goal of strengthening and spreading of education to the underprivileged youth within the targeted period and finance as acquisition or transfer of land takes time especially in case of JNVs where 30 acres of suitable land are required and which the State Government has to provide free of cost along with sufficient temporary accommodation to run the school till the completion of the Vidyalaya building. In view of paucity of land in places like Jammu & Kashmir, time required for construction of new buildings and economy in expenditure, it would be better to have vertical layers on the existing structures to achieve the targets within the stipulated time and at lesser expenditure.

Manipur CM thanks PM Modi, HM Shah for deferment of Census-2027
Imphal, Sep 5 (IANS) Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh on Saturday thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for deferring the Census-2027 exercise in the state. The Ministry of the Home Affairs on Saturday issued a Gazette notification deferring the houselisting operations for Census 2027 in Manipur. A day before its pre-schedule start, the Central government on August 31 announced to defer the Census-2027 exercise in Manipur amid continuing protests and demands by various Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) for the updation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) before the conduct of the Census in the state. Taking to his official X account, CM Khemchand Singh said: A welcome and consequential decision for Manipur. The deferment of the Census, notified through the Gazette today, reflects the Union government's considered attention to the genuine concerns of our people. My sincere gratitude to PM Narendra Modi ji and Home Minister Amit Shah ji for their leadership and understanding. We remain resolute in safeguarding the legitimate interests of our people and strengthening peace, security and stability in Manipur, the Chief Minister added. The Manipur Assembly, on the first day of its Monsoon session on September 2, unanimously passed a resolution urging the Central government to update the NRC in the state before conducting Census-2027. The State Assembly's move came amid massive agitations by various CSOs, mainly in the five districts of the Imphal Valley region -- Imphal East, Imphal West, Thoubal, Bishnupur and Kakching -- demanding the updation of the NRC before the conduct of Census-2027. The Campaign for Just and Fair Delimitation (CJFD) and various other CSOs have been holding massive agitations in the Imphal Valley region since August 17, demanding the updation of the NRC before the Census exercise is undertaken. Meanwhile, the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), the apex body of the Kuki-Zo tribal community in Manipur, has strongly opposed the demand for the updation of the NRC before the Census operations in 2027. KZC Spokesperson Ginza Vualzong had said that there is no constitutional provision for conducting an NRC exercise exclusively in a particular state. The NRC is a national exercise. The Assam NRC was undertaken pursuant to the Assam Accord of 1985. Therefore, any attempt to conduct an NRC exclusively in Manipur is not only discriminatory but also unconstitutional, he added.
