Agartala Municipal Corporation Mayor Dipak Majumder today emphasized the need to encourage students to think creatively and innovatively, moving beyond traditional approaches.
“The present age is the digital age; therefore, students should be motivated to think creatively and innovatively beyond traditional methods.
