Imnajungla Jamir, Territory Manager for Northeast, Ashoka University is currently here in Mokokchung conducting interactive sessions aimed at students of class 11 and 12 . Mayangnokcha Higher Secondary School, Jubilee Memorial School, N.I Jamir Higher Secondary School, and Senayangba Higher Secondary School are some of the schools covered so far.
The Northeast of India Stands at crossroads. For decades the region’s youth has been drawn to the allure of Civil Services governed by deep rooted respect for governance and public service. Yet, the harsh reality is that thousands of graduates are left disillusioned and jobless. Their dreams of cracking UPSC and NPSC exams shattered by limited seats and fierce competition. Academic Education while valuable fails to equip them with the skills to navigate today’s dynamic job market.
What if there was a way to honour their love for civil services while opening their doors to a world of diverse opportunities? This is where liberal education steps in offering a transformative approach that marry tradition with modernity.
Ashoka University, based in Sonipat Haryana, is India’s largest philanthropic collective. With the ambition to rival Ivy League institutions such as Havard and Standford, Ashoka University offers curricula in Liberal Arts that is both transformative and inclusive. Its education equips students with critical thinking, creativity and adaptability – skills that are indispensable for today’s job market.
For the Northeast that is nothing short of revolutionary. Liberal education does not replace the aspirations of Civil Services; it enhances it. The interdisciplinary approach of Liberal Arts fosters a deep understanding of history, sociology and governance. At the same time it prepares them for a multitude of career opportunities beyond civil services ensuring they are not confined to a single path. What’s even more noteworthy is the availability of full scholarship making world class education accessible to deserving students.
The message is clear Liberal Education is not just an alternative but a necessity for the youth of Northeast. It empowers them to dream beyond Civil Services equipping them to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.
