Asserting that one must always prepare to meet various eventualities given any unforeseen circumstances in the digital age, Phungyar A/C MLA K Leishiyo exhorted the youth particularly in the hill areas to be efficient and earn perfection in their chosen trade.
He was speaking as the chief guest at the inaugural ceremony of the 19th General Conference cum Sports, Cultural and Literary Meet of Raizan Katamnao Long (RKL) 2017-18 held at Grihang, Kamjong district on January 18 .
The annual event being organised on the theme "Youth in the Digital Age" will end on January 26 .
Leishiyo stated that a student's life is full of struggle and the world adheres to the rule of survival of the fittest.
He advised the youth and students to stick to hard work and perseverance to become successful in life.
Students must follow their expertise trade/field and work sincerely on it so as to excel in their future endeavours, he added.
Observing that hill areas are lagging far behind as compared to other parts of the State, the MLA termed ignorance of native places by hill people and their migration to towns and cities as some of the major factors for impediment to development in the hill areas.
This has resulted in wastage and non-utilisation of few available infrastructures and amenities, he said, urging the people in the hills to redefine the commitment to develop their native places.
He asked what is the point in making complain regarding non-functioning of schools, poor healthcare systems and deplorable road condition when the native people migrated to other developed places.
He regretted that younger generation in the hills overlooks their cultures, customs and traditions and gets influenced easily by the characterization of Western and European people.
Leishiyo also asked the hill people to give values to themselves and their assets and learn to be creative.
The inaugural ceremony was also attended by Samsun Khodang, ADC, Grihang DCC; Thotasang Shanglai, ADC, Kasom DCC and Paul Nangsha, SDC Kamjong Block among others as presidium members.
