Arunachal gets India's first 3D-printed government school

Government Secondary School in Pachin, Itanagar, has become India's first 3D-printed educational institution. The school, which had been destroyed by fire, was reconstructed in just two months using innovative 3D printing technology.

Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Pema Khandu praised the project on social media, calling it a "watershed moment" in efforts to provide cost-effective, sustainable, and rapid solutions for students' educational needs.

He emphasised that state-of-the-art facilities can help make education more accessible to remote and underserved communities.
