Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister recalled the historic significance of the institution and said, “I made it a point to come here today, especially because it was 25 years ago that late P. A. Sangma inaugurated the building of the Montfort Teacher Training College for Special Education.” He noted that at the time of its establishment, there was not a single training institute for special education in the entire North East, adding that Montfort was the first of its kind in the region.
Highlighting the institution’s pioneering role, he stated, “Twenty-five years ago, the decision to start this institute must have been extremely challenging, because nobody had done it before. At the same time, it must have been very exciting, because you were the first to do it.” He further observed that while several such institutions have now come up across the North East, Montfort continues to remain one of the oldest and among the leading centres for special education
