Declaring open the 38th annual college day celebration of Dera Natung Government College here, Khandu said the matter would be examined with the Education department and implemented as soon as possible.
To meet the shortage of college teachers, he said the state government has created 130 posts for principals, assistant professors and non-teaching staff for vacancies in 29 government institutes of higher education, a report from the CMO said.
The chief minister said, if required, more posts would be created and the Education department would be asked to make an assessment of the requirements.
“The state government is giving emphasis on quality education and every effort will be made in terms of meeting manpower shortage and infrastructure,” the chief minister said.
To a memorandum submitted by the college authority, Khandu assured to sanction funds for the boundary wall for the college campus and for installation of transformer 
to meet power requirements. He congratulated the editorial board members of a college research journal, which was released on the occasion. He said the journal would be of benefit to the students in the future.
Khandu said the state government had earlier brought out catchment area policy for college admission, due to which the rush at the DN College was minimised. He also said every effort would be made to improve the quality of education in colleges in the districts.
He advised the students to avoid wrong company and not waste time. He also stressed on discipline and said that it would take them ahead in life if they choose so.
Khandu further advised the students to make good use of social media that can sweep them away in a tide of disaster.
The chief minister congratulated the students and college faculty for the annual day celebration and suggested on larger participation involving even the parents.
Earlier, Khandu unfurled the college flag. This was followed by march-past and band display by students divided into four houses.
Capital Complex DC Prince Dhawan said the youth are welcome to be part of the development process and urged them to invest time in solving problems and not in becoming the cause of it, the report added.
