Our Correspondent Phek | January 6 MLA Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu today graced the 58th session of Phek Students’ Union cum one day seminar on career guidance at Phek Village community hall.
Speaking as inaugural speaker, Nienu lauded the villagers and students for initiating changes in the programme and system of the conference, where there was no chief guest, but only speakers and resource persons invited to speak on Career Guidance and Confidence Building.
“We don’t have to wait for changes to come to us; but it is for us to initiate and bring changes in our Naga society,” he stated.
He further urged the Naga youth to try and seek self employment and aim to become business tycoons and masters in their own business establishments thereby creating wealth to the overall economy of the state. He also challenged them stating “if you can't find a job, then create one yourself.”
Meanwhile, he stressed that it is the need of the hour for every young Naga to become an employer and not an employee, while stating one should no longer depend on the Government for employment. He highlighted that the private sector or entrepreneurship is the key driver of job creation and can provide the best solution to the challenge of unemployment and poverty.
With the state's rising unemployment crisis and the surging need for jobs and employment, he said, reaching a solution would be impossible without help from the private sector. “Therefore, one must abandon the mentality that life is all about securing a government job, but instead, venture out from your comfort zones and aggressively seek out entrepreneurship or the corporate world which promises scopes that are much bigger, broader and a much brighter future prospect,” Nienu added.
The resource persons of the seminar included Niechochiyi S. Venuh, District & Session Judge Zunheboto and Dr. Kuvezochi Hoshi, Managing Director, Royal Foundation School Phek.
Earlier, the inaugural function was chaired by Kuthovo Chizo. Chivozo Soho, Chairman, Phek Village Council extended greetings while Phek Collegiate Forum President, Vekhopu Venuh delivered welcome address.
The programme was jointly organised by Phek Collegiate Forum and Phek Students' Union and sponsored by Phek Village Council.
