People’s College Mokokchung holds graduation, felicitation programme

MOKOKCHUNG — The People’s College held its graduation-cum-felicitation programme on Wednesday at the college auditorium in Mokokchung, celebrating a 100 per cent pass rate in the Nagaland University UG (CBCS) Examination 2025 and recognising two students for securing top positions.

Tongpangmei (CGPA 7.15) and Vino A Womi (CGPA 7.04) achieved the 5th and 7th positions, respectively, in the BA General category.

Deputy Commissioner Ajit Kumar Verma, who was the guest of honour at the event, noted in his address that their bachelor’s degree marks their entry into a “different club of society”, equipping them to contribute meaningfully to the community.

“A bachelor’s degree is a universal certification, but it’s only the first step toward a career or for higher studies,” he said, urging students to acquire more knowledge, build character, and uphold moral values to unlock their true potential.

Verma stressed the importance of preparation, stating, “Homework is the first step before pursuing any goal; directionless talent is nothing.”

He advised graduates to plan their paths thoughtfully, as the journey shapes essential human skills more than the destination itself. “Your journey is more important than your destination; the way you plans to achieve your target and perform in your journey will help you learn human skills that will guide to your destination,” he said.

“Education alone cannot lead society,” he added, encouraging graduates to develop intellectual clarity and versatility to excel in any sector.

Akok Walling, chairman of the board of governors, lauded the graduates for their achievements, crediting the vision of the college’s proprietor, Temjenmoa, who took over the institution just months ago.

“With a handful of students and teachers, the proprietor prioritised student welfare over commercial gain,” Walling said. He advised graduates to chase their dreams but never forget their roots, acknowledging the college and parents role in their success.

“You have millions of dreams and miles to go, but to whatever extent you may reach success, don’t forget your roots,” he advised the graduates.
