Naga Hoho (NH) while appreciating the centre’s move for inclusion of Nagaland into the jurisdiction of Central Agriculture University (CAU), Sunday appealed Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Radha Mohan Singh to allow the state to have its own CAU and not under any state.
NH secretary, information and publicity, C.Daipaio said that the Hoho raised this issue, when NH delegation led by president P.Chuba Ozukum, vice president H.K. Zhimomi, C.Daipao and assembly secretary Elu Ndang called on the union minister at Police House, Chumukedima, Dimapur on Sunday. The Hoho reminded the union minister that the college of VS&AH granted to Nagaland under the CAU, Imphal, was not “at all feasible for obvious reasons”.
The delegation also pleaded upon the union minister to establish more colleges under Agri & allied sector in Nagaland in near future. It also lauded the union minister for granting and establishment of VS&AH at Jalukie, since it was the demand of the Naga people for establishment of various colleges and universities.
