Addressing students, guests, awardees and youth library activists during the 15th annual day celebration of the Lohit Youth Library Network (LYLN) here in Lohit district on Sunday, she said that “Today, the teachers have to be multi-talented if they have to make any contribution to our society.”
She advised the students to spend some time regularly in the library after school hours and imbibe the reading habit.
