Explanation:
The major contribution of Christian education to Northeast India according to himis that it “acted as a stimulus, an inner urge, providing them with a new dynamism from within, setting them on a path to transformation and change”. It led them to “a self-awareness and made the people conscious of their own collective identity and heritage stirring to life alertness to its own identity”. It provided the people with “a vision that went beyond one’s own village, clan or tribe and gave a new world view based on the message of love, equality, forgiveness, pardon, peace, brotherhood, commitment and sacrifice”.
Following the usual pattern of missions, schools had been opened whenever a new station was established. The Orphanage and School, at Nagaon, Sibsagar, and Guwahati did tremendous work in education. But the establishment of the mission at Nongsawlia in 1843 was a turning point. In fact it was the first attempt at coeducation in Asom. The Nongsawlia school was converted into a normal (Teacher’s Training) School by the government in 1867. It was not until 1870 that the school graduates began taking up teaching positions. The establishment of St. Anthony’s orphanage and industrial training school in 1901, which are today known as St. Anthony’s Higher Secondary School and Don Bosco Technical School, was another turning point in formal and technical education in Asom.
