Major veritable step to thwart unemployment in Nagaland

Anyone can enumerate countless ways to resolve unemployment stink in Nagaland. But we Nagas, both public & government readers, are averse to lengthy articles and so I’d like to put up a lone means to our State Government on how to introduce more stable jobs by thinking out of the box.
Let me initiate by asking about Formal Education! Is it prudent for current younger generation to imperatively accomplish levels of qualifications and, in the process, spending tons of cash? Where does benefits lie in parance to achieving many a certificates, bestowed upon individuals that henceforth qualifiy them to series of opportunities readying them for the ‘real world’ if they are left haplessly, eventually? They are most qualified for the jobs that are no longer vacant.
Since the past decade, the ratio of new job opportunities created in Nagaland is far cry from the number of producing qualified candidates holding requisite degrees for employment, than being symmetrical. Nagaland has one of the highest literacy rate in India but despite it, unemployment is overwhelming in our society. As a result, overall people are propagating belief that education is futile, unlike the traditional creed we believed that education is the sole solution to every odds. Although this is a chronic pandemic incitement in a larger scale, there is less anyone can do to repel or deflect because practical outcomes backed by such issues are relevant everywhere. Thousands of educated and qualified youths who sacrificed more than two decades to equip themselves through education to survive in the real world are all stucked stagnant, with no job titles they are specifically or generally educated for.
Candidates has to go searching beyond our state’s boarder lines to get the rightful job for one’s qualification and albeit such endeavors, assurance is not guaranteed.
Any young or old Naga will tell you how dispiriting it is when one meet youths holding master degrees or engineering degrees employed at a minimum wage stalls as technician or salesperson in a run-down private establishment. Here’s the fact – you’re bound to witness such instances, in numbers, everyday. So when an aspiring students witness such outcomes, don’t they have rights to correctly abandon studying to formulate themselves with different tactics to live in the real world in their adult life? Doesn’t take a doctorate degree to rightfully answer such a question.
Let’s play the “blaming-game”. I cannot entirely blame the state government solely or any other individuals or groups of Nagas that have had the influence and capital to ease Naga economy.
What I can, accurately, blame is our one and only lone traditional ambition: Government Employed Service Personnel. During a child’s upbringing, from the moment a child reaches a stage to comprehend, all parents begin to drill the concept to complete education vying a secure government job in a child’s mind. This is the ultimate truth. For most of us Nagas, government service is the only means that defines individual-standing in our community; anything beyond that is beyond our grasp.
