The Nagaland University Students’ Union (NUSU), Kohima Campus (KC): Meriema held its 25th annual parting social on Friday at RCEMPA, Jotsoma with Secretary, Land Resources, Y. Kikheto Sema IAS as the chief guest and Er Yanpvuo Kikon, IT, Software Consultant & Entrepreneur as the guest of honour.
Addressing a jam-packed hall, Kikheto told the outgoing student that passing out was not a finished product but was only a raw material and that they were going to face different situations. “You are entering another part of life where you will face many problems and everyday would be a learning process,” he told them.
Stating that the State Government has the highest number of employees in the country totalling to 1, 26, 000 approximately, Kikheto said the government was not in a position to accommodate all qualified students passing out each year.
He discouraged the culture of depending upon parents, politicians and the government for providing white-collared jobs but to stand on their own by exploring different avenues. “Don’t confine yourself to home state but venture out for new opportunities and come back to give something to your society,” he advised. Kikheto stressed on the need to keep on moving forward in every endeavour and adjust to different situations.
He pointed out the current state of affairs in the state where there was mistrust between the government and the NGOs, politicians and bureaucrats and emphasized on the need to come together as one and work towards progress and development of the state. Kikheto appealed all to be a part of the solution rather than being submerged in the problem. He also spoke about maintaining good neighbourly relations and in the region since the people were interdependent.
Also addressing the gathering, Kikon talked about the importance of skill for employment opportunities and urged the youngsters to keep themselves updated. “Always try to keep yourself engaged not only for the purpose of salary but for experience,” he said.
He said dependence on the government was enough and that people need to explore the array of opportunities available.
The parting social programme was marked by special songs, poem recitals, speeches from the juniors and outgoing students and entertainment session.
