If Consulate General of the United States Chennai and Andaman and Nicobar Administration can have some kind of tie up in setting up a Community College or an understanding in getting resource persons in various subjects in Andaman then certainly the idea of Community college will deeply connect US Consul General Phillip Min with Andaman.
Talking to Andaman Sheekha this morning US Consul General Phillip Min today said that Consulate General of the United States, Chennai can certainly help in getting resource persons for Andaman in Education Sector. He said Education is always been a focus area.

Islands certainly look forward to have some kind of understanding with Consulate General of the United States Chennai in Education field so improve the Standard of Education further, in these Islands.
As long as Mr. Phillip A. Min, who has deep knowledge about Education, remains as U.S. Consul General there is certainly a hope.
