The governor highlighted the importance of using technology wisely as an asset, focusing on its benefits rather than its drawbacks.
Speaking about his own journey into public service, Yadav said that Jayaprakash Narayan inspired him to join the student movement and later into public service. He added that the motivation for public service cannot be forced, but must come from within. Since society gives people opportunities, individuals should also give back to society.
He further advised the youth to stay focused on their goals, dream big and pursue their ambitions with determination.
According to him, Nagaland has immense potential in fields such as tourism, but there is a need to change outdated perceptions about the state.
Sharing memories from his student life, the governor said he remained committed to his studies and worked hard to bring pride to his family.
Yadav spoke about the struggles he faced, but said strong determination helped him overcome difficulties.
Even when circumstances are tough, he said, hard work remains the key to success.
“The visit served as an enriching learning experience and an inspiration for the students,” it stated.
