Rymbui praised the school for earning sustained public trust through the collective efforts of its teachers, managing committee, and local community. He noted that the school’s consistent enrollment reflects the strength of collaborative responsibility and community engagement.

He also commended the villagers and teachers for their initiative in hiring additional educators and funding their salaries through local contributions, ensuring high educational standards. Rymbui described this effort as a model for other schools striving to rebuild credibility. “The success of any school lies in the unity of its community, educators, and management,” he added.
