On Saturday, a debate was conducted on whether people are truly independent after the 75th year of freedom.
The debate winner is Raid Laban, followed by Synod College ( second) and Law College (third).
For the first two days, students participated in activities such as tug of war, table tennis, fashion show and singing.
On September 29, the event was inaugurated by TMC state Vice President James Lyngdoh and Miani, at the Don Bosco Hall, Laitumkhrah.
On September 30, Meghalaya TMC State President Charles Pyngrope graced the event as the chief-guest.
On the final day on October 1, TMC Meghalaya North Shillong Block President, Elgiva Gwyneth Rynjah graced the event as the chief guest.
Charles encouraged the students to be responsible for imparting values in the society. “Being a public servant and serving the people of the state means we have to take responsibility so that justice prevails”, said Pyngrope.
