Interacting with the Deputy commissioners and DDSEs in the districts through video conference, he said that the leadership of a deputy commissioner will be one of the key factors in achieving the objective of transforming education in the state. Speaking on quality education, the CS urged the participants to work for optimum results from the limited resources. “The government will provide all the necessary support from its end,” he added.
