The event was organized on the occasion of the inauguration of the 'Satata' store at the school, which is widely recognized for the high moral standards of its teachers and students.

Presided over by Headmaster Md Maqbul Hossain, the discussion was attended by Deputy Director of the District Integrated Office of the ACC Md Shaon Mia as special guest.

Earlier, the chief guest inaugurated the 'Satata' store by cutting a ribbon and offering prayers.

Speaking on the occasion, Headmaster Md Maqbul Hossain said the 'Satata' store has been introduced to help students nurture the value of honesty in institutional life.

"Students can purchase educational materials such as pens, notebooks, pencils, and scales from the 'Satata' store at a fixed price without any shopkeeper or supervision. They are to deposit the money in a designated box placed at the store," he said.
