Addressing the gathering of students, the spokesman said Governor observed that in our society failures are not treated well and this is one of the reasons for children to lack in confidence and added that all of them are fortunate to have a unique concept like SECMOL which beliefs in teaching students lagging academically and providing them with an opportunity to rise beyond their failures. He mentioned that nowhere in the country such a concept of education exists and lauded Sh. Sonam Wangchuk for his initiatives and efforts in improving the education system in Ladakh. He hoped that the Himalayan Institute of Alternatives Ladakh (HIAL), a University founded by Sh. Wangchuk will attract people not only from India but from all over the world.
