Governor of Nagaland and Assam, P.B. Acharya on Sunday said that people in the mainland have a wrong image of Nagaland as a land of troubles and added that other states in the country were no less troublesome than Nagaland.
Speaking at the 6th felicitation programme of Nagaland Bhojpuri Samaj at Durga Mandir, Dimapur, Acharya said India has a peculiar image of respecting diversity with secular ideals.
He talked of corruption and poverty as a stark reality which can be eliminated if society progresses positively. “Making individual gains will not make the society progress but you have to give back to the society,” he said. The Governor also emphasized on the importance of education which should enable one to stand on their own feet.
Acharya also encouraged educational institutions to impart skill-based courses in their curriculum to empower learners with new tools.
Talking about yoga, Acharya said it is a “preventive and curative” activity and has no link with religion. Congratulating the successful students, the Governor told them that they still have to cover many miles since earning a degree is not the end. “It is just a start to face the competitive and ruthless world,” he added.
Citations and cash money were given away to meritorious students by the Governor and other dignitaries during the programme. The felicitation programme was marked with songs, dances and short speeches delivered by Bhojpuri community.
