Governor of Nagaland, P.B. Acharya has expressed serious concern over the issues of child labour and human trafficking, especially regarding girls from the North East.
Acharya found connection with the education system on these issues and asked, “Is it not a shame and a challenge to the education system? Why are researches not being conducted on these issues by the higher educational institutions or universities?”
The Governor was speaking as chief guest at the Silver Jubilee celebration cum Freshers’ Social of Pranabananda Women’s College, Dimapur on Tuesday.
He said acquiring an educational degree was not the ultimate goal of life but should give back to the society for its progress and strengthening. “Education should not make you egoistic. When achievers do not become givers, the society suffers,” Acharya added. He reiterated that education was the most important pillar for a society or nation’s development and emphasised on educating the girl child.
Talking about availability of rich natural resources in the region, Acharya asserted that the Nagas would have to work for themselves for progress and prosperity. “Who will work for the progress of Nagaland? Outsiders will not work for you but the Nagas will have to work for themselves,” he said and urged Naga people to be bold and proud that they are Naga.
Earlier, the Governor released the college magazine, ‘Pranab Vision.’ Kavita Acharya, wife of the Nagaland Governor inaugurated the College Wall Magazine.
