Addressing the gathering as guest of honour, advisor, industries and commerce, Hekani Jakhalu said Nagaland could prosper and progress only through local economy and urged the youth to take charge of the state’s economy by exploring various opportunities.
Expressing concern over the unemployment problem in Nagaland, she encouraged youths to have the desire to be skilled, learn new techniques and be open for any employment opportunities.
Inspiring the students with her journey, Hekani said with commitment, efforts and hard work, she has become what she is today. She then said there was no other options but to work hard in order to become successful.
Delivering a short speech, YRO, YRS, Chubarenla Longchari said in Nagaland the general population considers government jobs as the only viable form of employment, which she said limits one’s vision and cancels out other important factors such as one’s aptitude, talent, skills and inspirations.
