Livingstone Foundation Hr Sec School annual exhibition 2016 held
Dimapur, November 11 (MExN): Speaking at the Livingstone Foundation Hr Sec School (LFHSS) Dimapur annual exhibition, Parliamentary Secretary, Irrigation & Flood Control Jacob Zhimomi was critical of the fact that the educated unemployed section of Nagaland always runs after government jobs and do not venture in to other lucrative career sectors with immense opportunities. This, according to him, has resulted in the present condition of the State Government where due to “political pressure, there are many clerical and other allied appointments which are unwarranted and irresponsible resulting in huge expenditure on the part of the State Government on salaries alone,” stated a press release issued by the Information Desk, LFHSS, Dimapur.
Jacob Zhimomi, who was the chief guest of the event held on November 11 under the theme ‘Ability is nothing without opportunity’, was of the view that skilled labour is an important entity for the development of any sector. But unfortunately, especially the modern generation of Nagas has total disregard for work culture or Dignity of Labour thus leading to employment in the more lucrative private sectors like constructions and other projects being taken away by non-Nagas who, according to him were well equipped in terms of skills and also since they have dignity of labour. Thus, uneducated but skilled workers working in Nagaland from outside the state are earning in terms of Lakhs of Rupees as compared to educated Naga youths who earn only 5 to 10 thousand Rupees in a month.
Some of the highlights of the inaugural programme were invocation prayer by Ani Yepthomi, Director of LFHSS Junior High Section, welcome address and felicitation of chief guest by Andrew Ahoto, Chairman cum Principal of LFHSS, and declaration of annual exhibition 2016 open by the chief guest and special number by LFHSS Band.

Earlier, welcoming the gathering of dignitaries, parents and well-wishers along with the students, the Chairman of LFHSS, Andrew Ahoto spoke on the lines of the theme.
