He said that the state government has already approved the proposal for the recruitment rule for Thang-Ta teachers in the schools of the state in 2019, however till date the government has not taken up any initiation for the recruitment process.

Since 2007 KIMACS has been working on the introduction of Thang-Ta as a subject in the school syllabus of the state in order to preserve the prestigious art form and to teach morality and self defence to the students who are the future generation, said Ajit.

Introducing Thang-Ta as a school subject will also be a great initiative in successfully implementing the “School Phagathansi” and “War on Drugs” missions of the state government, added the president.
