In his keynote address, Hon’ble Minister in charge of Education, Shri. Lahkmen Rymbui lauded the school for its remarkable journey, saying that Mang Hai Ryum Higher Secondary School has stood the test of time, overcoming challenges through grit, determination, and faith. He praised the humility and dedication of the founder’s family, adding that if even 10% of the 55,000 teachers in the State shared the same vision and mission, Meghalaya’s education system would be transformed. He further emphasized the Government’s ongoing initiative to restructure the teaching cadre into two categories — Grant-in-Aid and Government Salary — and announced that the Cabinet aims to finalize this reform by December 2025. Expressing concern over low enrolment in several Government schools within Amlarem Sub-Division, he urged community leaders to take greater responsibility in supporting educational reforms and strengthening local institutions. During the celebration, the Minister announced several developmental measures for the school, including ₹15 lakh under the Chief Minister’s Special Development Fund (CMSDF), ₹10 lakh for infrastructure enhancement, and two Maruti Eeco vans for student transport. He assured that the work orders will be formally handed over during the upcoming visit of Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Conrad K. Sangma to Amlarem on November 12, 2025, during the 50 Years Celebration of Amlarem Sub-Division
