Nagaland Planning & Coordination, Land Revenue and Parliamentary Affairs, Minister Neiba Kronu said that laziness, insincerity and dishonesty are not the culture of the Chakhesang people. “We, the Chakhesang people, laziness is not our culture, insincerity is not our culture, dishonesty is not our culture,” he said while speaking at the cultural session of the platinum jubilee celebration of Chakhesang Students’ Union (CSU) at Phek town on February 16. “Our culture amount to hardworking, sincerity, honesty and we are known for our hospitality,” he said.
He said that if we lost our culture, if we lost our identity, that means we have lost everything. Kronu stressed on the need to preserve the good culture and abandon the bad culture if any. In today’s world, he said any community having the good culture is love by outside world.
Stating that there is nothing like working hard, he said “We all have to work. There is no shortcut to success.”
Stating that academic career is the most important for student life, he described the present generation as lucky lot. In the past, he said, because of the political problem one cannot go to school. They want to read good books but they do not get opportunity. But, now for present generation, they can learn through both offline and online.
Stating that the world is full of opportunity, Kronu, who is also the former president of Naga Students' Federation said “Do not think that you will not get job. Job is everywhere all over the world.”
He however said that the multinational companies want only quality people. “If you are qualified, sincere, honest and hard working people, don’t worry for the job,” he said.
