Minister of Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Dr. Nicky Kire said no government could provide job to all youths and one should not consider government job as everything. He rather encouraged youth to choose any profession they were good at, while addressing the gathering as the chief guest during the new ministers’ hill youth organization Kohima silver jubilee celebration (25 years of service to the community) at Botanical garden Kohima on October 10.
According to minister, an educated person should not stay unemployed with the knowledge he/she had acquired. He encouraged the youth to take up any job regardless of its status stating that no work or job was big or small as it was the dignity of labour that counted. He lamented that Nagas were lagging in persistence and perseverance in any work field, wherein he pointed out the reason for Naga failure in many areas. Minister also shared another area of concern where he said Nagas were too dependent on their parents even after they became matured enough to stand on their own.
Stressing the importance of living and working together, Dr. Kire said no single individual or society could progress and advised the youth organization to work hand in hand with neighbouring colony and society. He encouraged the youth members to do something against illegal immigrants and misuse of surname in Naga society.
