The award is indeed a result of concerted efforts that the Ministry of Tribal Affairs is putting to enable the tribal schools and students to become part of mainstream and pave the way for brighter and successful future. This award is a recognition for all the EMRS teachers and principals working hand-in-hand to raise the quality education standards for tribal students.
