• She believes that as a society, everyone needs to come together and help the girls make their dream a reality and not just an imagination.

• 
  
• She further applauded the growing awareness and positive evolution of pageantry, particularly in regions like Nagaland, where organisations and government are actively promoting it.

• The association with the BASN has been a long-term association, even prior to the franchisee for Miss Universe. On this, he said, they have a lot of expectation from BASN and look forward to the Miss Universe Nagaland 2025 event.
• 
  
• He added that they have made it easy for the girls to participate in beauty pageant by bringing it into the state instead of having them come to Metro cities and give auditions. They can now participate in their respective states pageants. With that opportunity, he hopes that more number of participants would come forward in the future.
• 
  
• A total of 14 contestants will be competing for the Miss Universe Nagaland 2025 title.
