She added, “By joining Tetso College, you are joining a community of 2000 plus students. You are also joining a community of dreamers, thinkers and most importantly doers.”

Dr. S. C. Jamir spoke on the Theme “A Tryst with the Future of Nagaland”. He stated the people of Nagaland had been witnessing the fragmentation of both underground and over-ground organizations into multiple factions with divergent outlook and agenda. Naga society is wasting precious time for things which are impossible to achieve and leaders have abdicated governance. We talk too much about the past forgetting about the fact that we must live in the present and mould the future. To reinvent and transform the Nagaland of today, the mindset of the Nagas will have to be rooted in contemporary realities. The world is now a global village due to developments in technology and is very competitive.

Our outlook and attitude have to be global. A self-centric approach will have to give way to an inclusive approach and short-term perspective will have to be replaced with a long-term perspective. The youth of Nagaland have to be the standard torch bearer of all the good that we have lived for and we seek.
