While deliberating our roles and subject felt that the Association can play a pivotal role in moulding and shaping the future of the students, thereby bringing changes in the society, the Association further stated.
Meanwhile, ANDTA reportedly did “some field research in and around” Kohima and Dimapur district whereby the Association found that out of the many commercial artists in Nagaland especially the State capital, 80 percent are run by non-locals. Earning eight to ten thousand monthly is sufficient to maintain a family. “To pursue an artist as a profession, as aspirant does not need to have much book knowledge but require motivation and encouragement by conducting perennial competition in the schools, districts and state level, which the association is planning to take up with most priority,” the Association stated.

Therefore, the Association has requested the concerned authority to look into the matter.
