He encouraged the students to aspire to stand on their feet and not depend on the government for jobs. The chief guest was also lamented the attitude of government employees in the state saying there were people who have never seen their place
of posting and teachers who never attend classes but keep proxies. Eshak maintained such people were committing sins.

Eshak noted that the purpose of education was lost if no matter how educated a person is if the person lacks patience, tolerance and sincerity. Further, he congratulated the students for their success and lauded them for bringing laurels to the community, and encouraged them to become active members in building a good Naga society.

Kikheto Sema (IAS) as chief guest. Speaking at the inaugural programme, chief guest in his speech emphasized on the significance of the gate as it was a point of entrance and exit of a village. He was of the view that the word “welcome,”normally written on such gates, should exhibit the mannerisms of the inhabitants of the village to visitors. Kikheto said Shoxuvi village was a thoroughfare for many especially the Zeliang community thereby he appealed the villagers to let any outsiders pass through the village comfortably and peacefully. “We Nagas cannot separate each other as we are inter-related and we should live in harmonious unity,” Kikheto added. The inaugural pro-
