The Nagaland governor said the students should take guidance of parents and teachers in deciding the choices for their career and develop the practice of building strong willpower.

He also urged the teachers to give their best for the growth and welfare of the students.

Nagaland governor Jagdish Mukhi said more than the degrees, it is the knowledge that gives immense intellectual satisfaction.

Therefore, he said, it is the responsibility of schools, whether government or private, to provide holistic education to students so that they can efficiently discharge their duties to themselves, to the community, to the nation as a whole, and to humanity at large.

He added that an institution must contribute toward empowering the community.
