Addressing the students, Bhattacharyya exhorted the students to inculcate acquired knowledge and return to their homeland with the mission to educate the people in the respective areas.
Lamenting that there are no good educational institutes in Eastern Nagaland, Bhattacharya challenged the students to be the pillars of these good institutes so that students from other parts of the region would also come and pursue their academic career.
“Why can’t we have such good institutes in Kiphire, Mon Tuensang even though our people from that region are not far behind in terms of educational qualification,” he asked.
