Dimapur, May 22 (MExN): The 21st batch of skill training for unemployed youth was inaugurated at Don Bosco Tech AIDA centre on May 20.
Khekiye Sema IAS (Retired) was the chief guest and he spoke on ‘believing in oneself and using the brain in a constructive way’. He exhorted the students not to believe that they are lesser than anybody else. He insisted on having a big dream in one’s life and challenged the trainees to fulfill their dreams. He said that it was possible, provided they have self-confidence. “Now the world is changing very fast,” he said, “and the world is economy-based - with graduation or without graduation, the professional is the hand, compactor and genius.”
Nrimal, finance administrator, stated that, though today Don Bosco Tech of Dimapur region is not funded by the government, the skilling mission of Don Bosco Tech is carried out in collaboration with corporate houses such as Axis Bank Foundation, HANS Foundation, Accenture India, Godrej, Schneider Electrical, Tata Trust and others.
Further he said that, “Don Bosco Tech is committed to the skilling of youth. Taking advantage of the opportunity currently available, we want to contribute to the demographic dividend the whole world is talking about. We want to make sure that, as India is going to be the skill capital of the world soon, our youth, particularly from Northeast do not miss the bus. They are second to none and Don Bosco Tech wants them to compete and excel with their counterparts in mainland India. We at Don Bosco Tech are committed to this.”
A trainee Lowang Konyak shared his life testimony. The audiences were enthralled by Sumi folk dance and Arunachali and Angami folk songs performed by the trainees.
