Director SCERT, Thejakhrielie Sekhose in his address as the chief exhortant, reminded the successful candidates that they were living in a competitive world where they had to strive hard to achieve. Sekhose said that Nagaland had around 1 lakh educated-unemployed, and government jobs were already saturated so he asked them to consider ventures beyond government jobs.
