The keynote address was delivered by Y Lipongse Thongtsar, Additional Director of Industries and Commerce. In his speech, he highlighted the importance of cultivating a progressive mindset, stating that true progress begins with how individuals think and act.
He elaborated that becoming a “masterpiece” requires dedication, perseverance, and hard work. Addressing employment realities in Nagaland, he pointed out the intense competition for government jobs and encouraged students to explore broader opportunities in private sectors, entrepreneurship, and skill-based careers.
He further urged students to consider self-employment and innovation, noting that many economic opportunities within the state remain underutilised. Stressing skill development and initiative, he called on the youth to become contributors to society rather than passive job seekers.
