He highlighted several key sectors that need to be addressed properly in order to make the state successfully usher in an era of positive changes, like ensuring peace and stability; fostering economic growth and infrastructure development; upgrading education and skill development; promoting Naga culture and identity; and improving health and social welfare.
TR told the youths that all educated youths cannot and should not depend solely on government employment. He said that the future of Nagaland depends on how creatively and responsibly youths use their education. There are immense opportunities in entrepreneurship, agriculture and allied sectors, skill-based professions, small businesses, and other private sectors, he said.
He also spoke on the need to embrace the dignity of labour, stating that success should not be measured only by government jobs but by how the youths contribute to society, create livelihoods, and strengthen the communities. He encouraged the youths to be job creators rather than job seekers and to embrace innovation, hard work, and self-reliance.
TR also said that the Peren district holds a significant place in the development journey of Nagaland and assured that the government will work towards inclusive growth by strengthening road connectivity, improving the education system, health care, and livelihood opportunities.
