An opportunity for students to express their expectations of the future world !

Students from schools of North-East (including Sikkim) can be a part of India's preparations for the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD). The Summit, being held 10 years after the Earth Summit, will address issues significant in shaping environment and development policies in this century the world over. Around 200 countries would be represented at the Summit, many of them by the Heads of State.

The exhibition will take place in the ball room of Cannon Hall museum of Barnsley and all the art work will be up for sale.

Hospice fund raiser, Sue Miller said, "We are absolutely delighted that Runima has agreed to stage this exhibition on our behalf."

Born in Assam, India Runima came to live in Barnsley in 1975 where her husband Prakash Kakoty is a medical general practitoner. She taught in Sheffield for a number of years but now devotes all her time to painting.

What was most noteworthy and significant about the foundation of the school was that the school marked the beginning of Modern Assamese School post-independence in the state. The name of the school was Ideal Nursery, and the man who designed the school was Professor Sushil Sharma.

Even though there were many schools, mostly government schools, in the state at that time but the educational pattern of those schools were mostly outdated and old fashioned and not even up to the standards of schools which existed around the same time in the rest of the country. Remembers Sushil Sharma today,

The public has time and again learnt this bitter lesson and the officers concerned have seldom given them time to forget it either. There aren’t many departments that have escaped this lethal bite.
