Phekmi Collegiate Forum (PCF) 29th annual session was graced by Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu the sitting MLA of 19Assembly Constituency Phek on January 8 at Phek village Panchayat hall.
Speaking at the session as guest speaker, Azo challenged the students to compete at the highest level saying was no room for complacency if one was to achieve their desired goal.
Asking the students to do away with their “casual attitude”, Azo said that in this competitive age one need to have a competitive spirit, be disciplined and punctual to be successful.
He also urged PCF to conduct career guidance and counseling sessions for the students so that their talents can be tapped in the right fields. “We have to mould and shape them to become assets to our village and society,” Azo remarked.
Also speaking in the programme, retired professor from the University of California, USA Dr. Vekusa Nienu reminded the student community to aim to be the best in any discipline. He emphasized on the need for students to be well educated in technology as the contemporary times have digitalized the world.
“Degrees alone will not suffice students to get the desired job or find a place if he or she is not sound in technology,” said Dr. Vekusa. 
Speaking on the theme “Education – a new perspective”, senior journalist, Merina Chishi Soho encouraged the students to understand the difference between being “educated” and being “literate.” She stated that a society needs not only literate people but also educated ones.
Highlighting the various aspects of education, she also emphasized the need to be truly educated so that one was empowered by the acquired knowledge and not just earned a college degree.
She stated that Nagas need to move away from traditional courses and also take up technically advanced courses and encouraged students to take up technical courses and multi disciplinary courses.
Merina further emphasized on the need for students to understand the purpose of the subject he/she was studying and have a wider perspective on education.
She called on the student community to take up challenging yet job oriented courses rather than just earn college degrees and wait for political appointments saying “such trend is what corrupts our society.”
