While underscoring the importance of primary and elementary education, he stated that the use of smart boards will enable students in remote areas to access quality education which is crucial for their development.

In this meeting, the Governor stressed the need for electrification of 13 villages in Lawngtlai District that still lack electricity. He urged government departments, VCs and NGOs to work together to support the underprivileged in their respective areas. He also clarified about recent issues regarding the Free Movement Regime (FMR), describing that FMR has been in place since long back and there are no plans to disturb it, but due to the current instability in the neighboring country, certain restriction has been laid out to ensure better security for both villages and citizens, as well as to prevent illegal activities across the border. He reassured that the new measures were not intended to create difficulties but to enhance the safety and well-being of the people. The Governor emphasized the increasing challenges of drug smuggling along the border and emphasised the need for collective efforts to maintain Mizoram as a peaceful and prosperous state.

Through the Governor’s Discretionary Grant, the Governor handed over financial assistance of Rs 1,00,000/- to 9 home owners, while 9 tenants received Rs 5,000/- each. The victims expressed their gratitude to the Governor for his support and financial assistance.
