Kohima College celebrated its 56th Social Parting on 15th April 2023 at the College Courtyard with Kegwayhun Tep, President of the Naga Students’ Federation as Guest Speaker.
Tep began his speech by cautioning the 360 outgoing students of KCK. The hope was for them to be an asset but the danger existed of them becoming a liability instead. He said they would face the problem of employability as the unemployability of the Naga youth remained the highest among all Indian States.
For him, that intractable problem faced by most graduates from Nagaland was twofold—firstly the Naga tendency to only consider government jobs & secondly, the non-transparency of the job recruitment process for the majority of the jobs in the government sector. He further cautioned about the risk of depression, frustration, suicidal tendencies, etc.
He concluded by pointing out that problems of unemployability and mental instabilities can be fought by the youth fighting against prejudices and coming out of their comfort zones. That the youth must “weigh themselves” and know their worth as they go forth into their uncertain future. That they must endeavor to make their lives meaningful and respectable to society.
Earlier, an exhortation was delivered by Dr. M. Libanthung Ngullie, Principal, KCK, and the invocation prayer was pronounced by Dr. Ketoukhrieü, Asst. Professor. The welcome address was delivered by Hyulo Tsela, General Secy., KCSC, and short speeches by Nuvekho Rhakho and Sachin Sharma on behalf of the junior students and outgoing students respectively.
As announced by Tiasunep Lkr, Literary & Magazine Secy., the College Annual Magazine 2022-2023 was unveiled by Principal Dr. M. Libanthung Ngullie, and a special performance “College Days” was presented by the outgoing students. A Live Art show was displayed by Tahimu Trakha, and the distribution of prizes for the various competitions of the college (2022-2023) was announced by Ngushu Wanmai, Games & Sports Secy. Lhousazolie Zumu, Asst. General Secy. delivered the vote of thanks.
