He then stressed on the need to turn the human capital resources into assets of the state. He stated that Nagas are going through a threshold- politically, traditionally, socially, and economically, and called on the need to build a new, strong, and vibrant Nagaland.

 

He also stated that the Higher Education Department has been working with moral responsibility in building the lives of students which according to him are the human capital resources of the state.
“Nagaland being one of the most literate states in the country is an achievement of educators,” he said.

 

The Minister further asked the gathering not to count only their weakness but to remind themselves of the commitment with which they are set to work and urged them to mold themselves with changing times.

 

Director of Higher Education, Dr. Katoni Jakhalu stated that the teaching profession is a privilege but it comes with great responsibility. She said that teachers are the molders and shapers of the younger generation, who have the potential to be the State’s assets or its biggest liability.

 

Dr. Jukhalu also highlighted various issues caused due to online classes and exams. She called upon the gathering to be hands-on educators, mentors, and guardians of the youth. She encouraged them to strive to emulate Bhutan in the happiness index on their respective campuses and create the right environment for the campuses or community to be rooted in social and moral responsibility.
