Kohima, August 26 (MExN): A 7-member team from Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan, who are on a cross-cultural study tour to Nagaland, visited Raj Bhavan on the invitation of Governor PB Acharya on August 26. The six students were led by Dr. Takano Takako, Professor at the Department of Centre for International Studies, Waseda University.
A press release from PRO, Raj Bhavan informed that the Governor apprised the team and Amba Jamir, founder and Executive Secretary, Sustainable Development Forum Nagaland (SDFN) of the need to tie up not only with NGOs but also with the universities in Nagaland.
“Individual organisation might have wonderful interest and motive but might not reach to the ordinary man, but if our activities are tied up with the universities or with good colleges it will have a much bigger impact with our youths and on the system of education,” he stated.
Acharya further pointed out that the present system in the universities is not job oriented. The students after their studies do not connect either with society nor industry, he stated, adding there is a need to interact with the students and universities to share views. He maintained that there should be a dialogue between trade, commerce, industry and education along with the resources available in the state to make the universities employable university.
