Dimapur, November 22 (DIPR): Governor of Nagaland, PB Acharya attended the foundation stone laying ceremony of Dayanand Vidya Niketand School at Purana Bazar, Dimapur on November 21, 2016.
Speaking on the occasion, Acharya said that Nagaland is known for producing the best chilli and ginger. Therefore, he requested Mahashay Dharampal Gulati, founder of MDH, to invest in Nagaland.
He further pointed out that people nowadays, being obsessed with learning English, are forgetting the culture and languages of India. In such a scenario, he said, Hindi should be given more importance as it is considered “the common linking language of India.” He also stressed that the university and educational institutions should provide quality education so that the students could be job creators instead of job seekers.
Meanwhile, Minister for School Education & SCERT, Yitachu said that in Nagaland, more emphasis is given on learning English; however, Hindi which can break the language barrier is equally important.
