Kohima Science College (KSC) Jotsoma organised its 59th parting social in the college auditorium on Saturday, with advisor to state chief minister and associate vice president, Athletics Federation of India, Abu Metha as guest speaker.
According to a DIPR report, while addressing the students, Metha pointed out that the college was more than six decades old.
Terming it as “an iconic institution”, he said that students molded and groomed from the college had gone on to become some of the nation builders of the state and country and that the present students had high ideals and examples to live up to.
With around 600 students graduating this year from the college, he encouraged the students by saying that if each of them could change 10 lives and those 10 lives changed another 10 lives, in about five generations time, they would have changed the lives of about 60 million people, equivalent to the present population of France.
With India, China and Asia being the world’s biggest economy with the highest purchasing power and with the state geographically located in the middle, Metha said that it could be one of the greatest strengths for the state.
Though they may be faced with challenges and difficulties, he encouraged them to cling on to hope and keep moving forward, which he said could ensure that the future generation would live in a world that was much better than the one today.
During the programme, the college also felicitated students who excelled in various competitions and extra-curricular activities held at state and national levels.
