Stating that it would be impossible to build new roads and bridges all over the State within a span of 5-6 months until the next election, Minister of Roads & Bridges, Dr. Neikiesalie Nicky Kire, however, exuded confidence that some improvement would be seen by this year-end at least in the district headquarters. “I would definitely look into the issue and try to take care of all district headquarters,” the Minister said addressing a gathering at Immanuel College, Dimapur during inaugural programme of Immanuel College New Block cum 24th Annual Social Day on Wednesday.
Talking about the theme of the occasion, “Building Blocks of Success,” Dr. Nicky said it was aptly chosen and likened the students to blocks, faculty and management to the base and the teachings of the professors to cement and sand which all come together to build success for the students. He encouraged the students to choose an area of their speciality instead of becoming ‘jack of all trades and master of none.’
The chief guest described studying in college as the ‘most dangerous period’ when the students remain away from their parental control and gets involved in numerous activities besides academic and spiritual. He also cautioned the students against the prevalent disease of HIV.
Dr. Nicky emphasized on the need for institutions to keep track of their students even after passing out to see whether they have turned out to become what they wanted to be. According to the Minister, such follow-ups on students would enable the college to assess its own performance. He also urged students to keep in touch with their college and think about paying back for what they become later in life. “You must think of giving back to the society for contributing to your success in life,” he added.
