The teacher questioned the students if they had set their own goals and objectives to pursue their career. “It is the survival of the fittest” Rhakho asserted and challenged the students to give their best effort and determination to begin their careers.
Further, he spoke about learning English and Hindi on priority as, he said, it will help them grow in their careers, instead of learning Nagamese which he felt could be learnt at any point of time.
