Parliamentary Secretary for Planning & Coordination, Evaluation & Monitoring Cell and Taxes, Neiba Kronu on Saturday maintained that no society can progress and develop without human resource development.
Inaugurating the new building of Government Middle School Pfutsero Town in Phek district, Kronu expressed the need to put a collective effort on human resource development to help build a pleasant and progressive society.
The Parliamentary Secretary informed that the proposal for establishment of Science College in Pfutsero has already been approved by the State Level Education Committee and the process will start soon.
A multipurpose hall in Pfutsero is also on the verge of completion, he said, adding that once it is completed it will host all kinds of events/activities.
Kronu also expressed his ambitious plan to transform Pfutsero Town, pointing out that the town has potential to become the next city of Nagaland.
“We want to turn Pfutsero Town into a world tourist attraction centre,” he said and sought the cooperation and active participation of the public to make it a reality.
He maintained that proper drainage and good sanitary system are required apart from good roads, financial institutions, and healthcare etc. “Tourists will not come if there is no good road connectivity,” he stated.
He also informed that the process for adventure tourism activities have already been worked out and likely to be operational by next year.
Further, Kronu expressed deep concern over the deplorable road condition of NH-29, especially Kohima- Pfutsero- Jessami. He said that he had pressured Director General of BRO on the issue and also recalled the memorandum submitted to Nagaland’s Governor PB Acharya by the public during his recent visit to Pfutsero. He called upon the people to join hands together and collectively pursue the matter. Kronu also asserted that the public will not remain a silent spectator if the BRO continues to neglect the said road.
Meanwhile, he said GMS Pfutsero Town was established in 1945 and is one of the oldest schools in the town with huge number of enrolment. He lauded the school authority and the teaching staff for their dedication and producing an excellent result over the years. “This school is one of the best performing schools in the state,” he acknowledged.
Earlier, dedicatory prayer was proposed by Keduwepe Mero, pastor, Calvary Baptist Church, Pfutsero. The formal programme was chaired by Wemhie-ii Mero, while invocation was pronounced by Rev. Dr. N Chiero, pastor, Pfutsero Town Baptist Church. GMS head teacher Wepekha Wetsah delivered welcome address. Special numbers were presented by students of GMS Pfutsero Town and mothers' group.
