A press release informed that the resource persons were Temjen Imna Longkumer, Chairman & MD, REM Group Nagaland, Bambi Kevichusa, Designer and Chenti Phom, Executive Chef, Naithu Group of Hotels, Nagaland.
Addressing on ‘hospitality and tourism as a career’, Chenti Phom and emphasising on Nagaland situation, he pointed out that Nagas need to change the mentality and assumption that we have associated with the Hotel industry where an individual is reluctant to serve others and do service for them which is essential in the hospitality industry. Tourism inflow in Nagaland in 2014, the domestic inflow was said to be 58507, foreign inflow 2505, whereas in 2015 the domestic inflow was said to be 64616 and foreign inflow 2769, according to Chenti.
Meanwhile, Bambi Kevichusa touched on ‘perspective career prospects in fashion’ asserted that the internet and Media has opened ways for us, especially for our parents to be more open in private sectors especially in the fashion industry. Fashion industry is a career that is much sought after now, she commented. “A designer/artist needs to deal with respect with their creativity though an artist has the freedom with their art,” remarked Bambi.
Temjen Imna Managing, addressed on ‘Entrepreneurship Development’ informed the youths that, “The resources in our land are beyond the comparison of the limited population that we have and if taken care of and started in a proper manner we can build for our future generation. If we are not willing to be audacious enough we will not be successful. If you are not going to change in the profession you are taking you will not go far.”
“Classroom trainings and tours are all experiences. No explanation would be enough to give you a full proof plan to make you successful. Look around and imbibe them into you as the first step of becoming successful entrepreneurs is to look around,” he noted.
