Kohima: A total of 13 HSLC toppers from the Ao community were honoured with the NI Jamir Academic Excellence Award during its 20th edition held at Molu Ki, Kohima.
The award, an initiative of the Kohima Ongpangkong Telongjem (KOT), carries a citation and a cash prize of INR 10,000 each. The awards were presented by Advisor for Labour and Employment, Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and Excise, Moatoshi Longkumer.
Congratulating the toppers, Longkumer said that excellence was not accidental, but the result of dedication, consistency and courage.
He observed that in today’s rapidly changing world, knowledge travels instantly, artificial intelligence is transforming industries, and technology is reshaping economies. While opportunities have increased, he said distractions and competition have also grown significantly.
The advisor stressed that academic excellence alone was not enough and urged the students to uphold values such as honesty, resilience, kindness, discipline and respect for others.
He further said that education should not disconnect students from their roots, but instead empower them to serve society and their people more effectively.
