‘Education should lead to employment’

The 3rd combined consultative meet of WASU, WASA and WAYO held at Sechü Zubza

Staff Reporter KOHIMA, SEPTEMBER 14 Stating that many Naga youth have become complacent with life, first class contractor and entrepreneur, Nibu Nagi today called for revival of work culture once practiced by forefathers. “Our forefathers were uneducated but all of them were employed, whereas majority of the present generation are educated but unemployed. Something is very wrong,” Nagi said. He also lamented that many Nagas are dependent on government for survival, which he felt would be a big problem in the long run. “If all of us are dependent on government job/schemes alone, then I doubt not that we Nagas will remain behind others. And it won’t be too far from now on,” he wondered while encouraging the youth to invest their time and money on business. He was addressing the 3rd combined consultative meet of Western Angami Student’ Union (WASU), Western Angami Youth Organisation (WAYO) and Western Angami Sports Association (WASA) held at WAPO building, Sechü Zubza on September 13, as a resource speaker on the topic “Business Management & Entrepreneurship”. “Today many Nagas have the dream to become rich and successful without taking the initial step. And with this mentality and attitude, we are heading nowhere,” Nagi said adding that ‘real’ education should lead to employment and not the present unemployment crisis which the Nagas are facing. He therefore, encouraged the Nagas to set new standard of work culture in order to catch up with the world. Stating that business is the backbone of a state’s economy, he also encouraged the youth to emphasize on business establishment with stability and truthfulness. Other resource speakers, Kethoser Aniu Kevichüsa, Ministry Associate of Ravi Zacharias International Ministry spoke on “Youth Challenges of our Age”, while Mhiesizokho Zinyü, former president Angami Public Organisation (APO) spoke on “The concept of social politics and state politics in the context of Western Angami”. The first session was chaired by Rokoketou Sechü, general secretary Angami Youth Organisation, while Abaü Zhünyü said the invocation. Greetings was delivered by Savilie Kruneilie, president Angami Public Organisation, and a special number was presented by Asenuo Medoze and Visaneilie Medoze.
