He said Nagas in the early decades lived in harmony as they upheld traditional values of integrity, humility, unity, hard work and self-reliance. He also exhorted the students that the path to achieving big dreams was through small and humble beginnings pursued with discipline, dedication, and perseverance. However, he lamented that despite modernity today Nagas were living in an utter state of dependency. “We’ve lost the spirit of independence,” he said and in this regard called for a transformation from being dependent to being
