 I am delighted to be in the midst of the students, the younger generation whom I like so much for the region of which I have chosen this profession of teaching. Don't consider me to be an administrator. I am first of all a teacher and being a teacher my first love is to be in the midst of the students. I feel it really a privilege for me more so to be present on the celebration of the freshest day 2023 of the Tessa College. In the morning I happen to be in another college. There also I spoke about how much I like to be in the midst of the students because students inspire thinkers, students inspire teachers, not the other way around. It may so happen that some teacher may inspire you but the teacher gets inspired by the dynamic student, an individual student. I congratulate all the freshers who have been admitted today, not today actually in this college, today is celebrating the freshest day. Before I had turned into this day woman I was asked by the principal madam to inaugurate the business student. I am very happy and I congratulate the management, the principal madam and all of you for having a facility which you can go a long way in generating lot of visitor resources. From the point of view of Naga tradition, Naga history, Naga culture and Naga Indian knowledge system. This is the new thing that I have been talking about. Either you say Indian Naga knowledge system or Naga Indian knowledge system vice versa. And which is the key, one of the key elements of the national education policy in 2020 which has been implemented in the state of Naga land and which has been implemented by Naga land university. Your course curriculum, your course structure, everything has been revised and has been tailored in line with the requirements of the national education policy. This will not interest you I know. I will come to the things that will interest you and inspire you. But I don't know to what extent I can be able to inspire you. Still I will go on speaking something more. After that I will come to speak about the students. Madam principal represented very meticulously and with so much of first years. The requirements and the possibilities that Terceau College wants to incorporate in the course of development of this institution. And I fully endorse all the things that she proposed. Given a chance if it is within the framework of the new system, I am going to approve everything. Even if it is not within the new system, the framework of the new system, I will try my level best to have these smaller things. It is a very small thing but there are so many bottlenecks that are created because of the structural reasons of this ecosystem that we are presently in. I joined just exactly one year back in Nagar Milosev. Wherein the outlook and attitude, pardon me for having very blunt, the outlook and attitude of people in the educational system in here is very conservative. People should be allowed to think out of the box which is not happening. And if you come up with a proposal for me to offer a course, a module on Indian Nagar system, I will be very glad. Madam, to respond to your specifics like allowing this bachelor in physical education, you will be happy to know that I myself have proposed to the UGC to open a master's program, a department on physical education to the UGC. So why not I approve when you submit your course curriculum syllabus for the board of studies and then to the academic council. I will be glad to support. Regarding bio-technology, I will be the first person. I am a student of political science. But if you talk to my colleagues in the last one year, the kind of things that I do is pro-science, not political science. So bio-technology is the same thing in the modern scientific world. And if I am a student, here the presence, bio-technology presence is very low. And interestingly, Nagaran University is having bio-technology teaching program and we have got some constraints. I was amazed to know about that. I wanted to fill up the course of professor of bio-technology. And the person who has got the highest number of scope in this application would of course automatically qualify to become a professor. But the school of engineering and technology in Nagaran University says our students as per the AICP department, things would happen. If somebody is having BSc, MSc, Geology, and you know a BSc from by the way from say United States, why not we have him? No sir, we can't. Then I get fired because I have to go through the academic council route where I will just open up. There are so many structural, I say so many structural problems to open up and allow the growth of certain disciplines. Similarly I had a problem in agricultural sciences. We had a wonderful candidate, of course I saw that he joined. And I did it through my own interpretation of the things. He has all the publications published in the foreign journals. And he is the fellow of Royal Society of K-Base. He is currently a professor in my university. I am very proud. And I have got many such kind of people now. I am recruiting. And what I do you know, at times I take the shortcut. I don't care anybody. I don't care anybody. If I put up the institution, if I need to bypass certain things, I will do it. It's not the first time I have done it. I was doing it in Missouri University. And I am also doing it here. Madam Brigadier, this microbiology, please do introduce. Please come up, ask your department faculty to present all the syllabus through the respective schools. I will definitely see that through. Next year, next academic session, please get ready to introduce all these courses. I have no issues in approving those things. Now, students, it's very hard to fill in. I saw that the motto of the college, strive for excellence. What else can it be? When you are in academics, you need to strive for excellence. But what is the yardstick of excellence? To what extent you can go to so that you can achieve excellence? Don't panic, don't worry. I will explain, I will define excellence very simplistically in our own way, in our own modest way. For me, excellence is to pursue one's own self to the fullest possibility. In achieving keys or health objective, that is excellence. It's not necessarily that you have to get gold medal in MA or BA and you have achieved excellence. No, I don't agree with that. I've seen gold medal myself so many times. But it did not give me any satisfaction. I did not feel that I want to achieve excellence. Because as long as I have not pursued the desired intention that I have in my mind to the fullest extent possible, I have not achieved excellence. You may not be to the expectations of your parents. You may not be up to the expectations of your teachers. But if you feel that you have given a hundred percent, then I would say that you have achieved excellence. The whole thing is how to unravel yourself and come out of all the constraints, handicaps and hurdles and prove yourself your own path. Then I will say you are having excellence. Excellence is not to become an IS officer. Excellence is not to become a philosopher, a scientist, nothing. In your own life, you should feel satisfied. You see, these are only momentary kind of achievements that would give you some satisfaction for a while. But it has to have a longer satisfaction. You should feel at the end of the day what I have achieved. Then I will say that you have really achieved something. In Nagaland University, we have tried to, we have been trying a lot. Ever since I joined, to do these kind of things. And now, with the introduction of NEP 2020, you have everything on the platter. You can have fashion designing, you can have bio-technology. You can have yoga. You can be a yoga master. You can have Naga Pooji when college has already started. I was so happy immediately I had the text to help. It is helping. So I take the name Jaffu College, Jaffu Krishnan College, Koima. She is also a lady, please come. Immediately after she opened the laboratory, she sent me the photo of the laboratory. What a wonderful thing. Because by having that course, they have not started the course since the lab has started. And when they come, I will definitely support them. And having that course, you are reaching at a global level. Now, I will relate this digital studio. With the digital studio, if you can develop a module or a couple of modules on, I have already said. Where is it? I think, I think, yeah. Digitizing, yes. Digitizing three, three, three in a, three tribes languages and things like that. Not the dominant tribe. Pardon me for using the word dominant. It is madaming, pardon me, because she knows what I mean by dominant tribe. She is a student of cultural studies. So the work that we are going to undertake in that so-called is not to record the language, the story of history of the dominant tribe, rather the tribe, which is rather minority tribe, if I am correct. That will happen today. If you develop a course on this Naga knowledge system, Indian knowledge system, and we will put up that in the Swayam platform, not only that our students will take here that course, will make it compulsory to all to take that course. And that course you don't have to take in the classroom. You have to take that course in of online, sitting at home after dinner time, one hour online course. And you write the exam. Devapur is the place where you are going to center, that's fine. Four days back, I had a meeting with the additional secretary online again. I am a person who believes in online things. And I told to him, Sir, Naga Land is neglected and people do not take Swayam courses because we do not have sufficient number of centers. A boy from Maan district, how can he come all the way to Dhimapur to write his exam? Maybe a poor boy. Then it is noted. But for you in Dhimapur, it will not be difficult to position. You can take few courses. What I would request madam principal, just let your students take more number of Swayam courses. Reason is, next year we are buckling up for NAC assessment. Please have sufficient, all the students should know that it is one course. I am going to have it ready transfer thing. We will do it slowly. Slowly means next year. Let us spend next year, because in the next academic council by then we have to frame the rules. If you are having a credit course of two or four, we will transfer it. For that actually we have to evolve the rules, all the framework, everything. But you can enroll, get the certificate and give credit. And Naga Land industry will definitely recognize that, which is very important for NAC accreditation. Another important thing, I am going to have, teachers, hundred teachers are having PhDs. Please enroll all of you. I would say, I am really ashamed of myself when I say this language. Naga Land industry, some of the teachers are yet to have PhDs. I got so furious. You don't know my language, I shout like anything. I said, how come for 12 years you have been working here and not done PhD? I want that within next year you should register for PhD. That's the language I speak. I terrify people for their positive development. I don't mind to terrify you if there is some positive development. So I request all the teachers please, at least enroll yourself in the PhD program. And I for myself, one for myself, what can I do for you? By just saying that I will, please do it? No, I am there for you. What is that? This year, immediately, last year till I came in September, immediately after I came, I asked how many PhDs are registered under Naga Land industry. They say very bigger number, I don't want to speak for that number. Immediately I say, go for the winter season admission. So we have, we did some number, it was not encouraging. But I was not feeling encouraged, but they said no sir, this is a good thing. Now this year, again July admission, they enrolled. They enrolled. What I have done, you know, I have given fellowship to everybody who pursues PhD. 8000 rupees, non-net fellowship. You pass up from MA, I will give you fellowship, you do research, coursework, everything. In the meanwhile, if you can prepare for a completed examination, I don't mind. If you get into NPS, I don't mind. If you get IAS, I'll be very happy. But I'll give you 8000 rupees. Similarly, I request madam to give incentive. You don't have to give 8000 every month, don't give. You can't afford to. But please incentivize, give some increments, something, those who get PhD. Three days back, I was asking, I was interacting with the heads and deals and the PVC and so on. To prepare houses, because all of them also submitted the NAC SSR. This address to the teachers, don't worry, you understand. I'll come to you again. Then the teacher said, a publication, we need incentive. I said wait, not now. But I'll give incentive for something else. What is that? If you can give me, if you can give me a patent, I'll give you 60,000 rupees. For publishing one patent, they were really surprised. I said I've got money, but I'll give it in a proper way. But this is the kind of decision you have to take. We've been taking to bring Nagara University to the forefront of the national level. Similarly, I'm so much fascinated by the infrastructure here. We do not have a machine to admit this kind of building, because they are current people. They really, we get hundreds and thousands of floors from central government. But I don't have this kind of building, because it's being managed by private lady. See, you have got the infrastructure. You should be proud of the infrastructure that you have. And I wish madam would take much more progressive steps to get much more facilities for the students. Are you ready for the hostels? Full level hostel for all the students. So now it will be, I request madam to have a fully residential college. Please do it. Please do it. And you collect money from them. Don't have to do it for free. Nothing is for free. There is nothing called free lunch, because madam is a very dynamic person. First time I was speaking to somebody like this. I never speak in a podium like this, because I was fascinated. So when you have got the hostels for everybody, if she wants she can get it within one year. If a vice chancellor wants, she cannot get it even within two years, three years. Then the constraint of the public institution. I want to do everything very fast, quick and fast. I am not able to do it. And people are telling that sir is getting impatient. Sir, we are doing sufficient progress. I said no. Nothing is moving in another industry. I say no. But there are some changes taking place now. I am happy also within one year. We have done something for the students, for the business scholars, for the teachers. Similarly, if you look at that kind of profile and in the college. I think this college will definitely shine. What is your name? What is your grade? B. Next time you are getting A. I have got the experience of visiting colleges and other institutions, I mean universities. As a NAAC team member, as a NAAC team chairman. For the last spanning, not exactly 20 years. Since 2004, I have been visiting colleges and universities. My experience says that with this kind of infrastructure, all we constraint is teachers, PhDs, publications. Of course, it is the percentage less, not as much for universities. And in case you need any hand holding, of course already we are in two times, you know, like related to the third, you can approach NAAC industry. We have got a very dynamic advocacy director. You say here coordinator, we say director, because it is a university system. So, you can also help you how to do the thing. Now the students are to talk about students. I spoke about your pursuit for excellence, all these things that may sound a little bit, you know, abstract. But when it comes to the reality, what are the things that you are going to do? How many hours you are going to spend in the library? Now you don't have to go to the library. You can have a remote access sitting in your hostel room or in the reading room. And I think library automation might have been down here. So remote access you can have. And you have to spend more time in reading and writing and thinking. Thinking is more important. If you don't think about what you are reading right, that kind of knowledge is not knowledge. Then here you will ask yourself what is knowledge? For me knowledge is that which I read, I write, I think and forget. I forget also. Then something remains in my mind. That is for me is knowledge. And when I pass you that knowledge for a longer time, it is wisdom. You might have noticed what I am doing here. I am speaking from my knowledge. And the knowledge is I do not remember anything, but something remains. That is my knowledge. Because learning and unlearning are the two sides of the same coin for the pursuit of knowledge. Your unlearning should move faster than your learning. So that what you learn next time, when you unlearn that, you learn much new. That is what knowledge is about. And you are all so fortunate. Because in India, still in Nagaland, still people do not get the kind of facility, the opportunity that we have got here. And you should capitalize during your stay of 2 years, 3 years, whatever number of years that you stay here. And take maximum benefit out of it. Money is worth. Money is worth. Your money is worth. Your father is spending 10,000 rupees per month. You should get 30,000, 40,000 worth of the things. Then only I will say that your injustice to your father and your mother. Or else you are cheating. You are betraying yourself, you are cheating yourself and cheating to the society. Please do not cheat yourself. Be sincere and honest in your undertaking and be successful. Thank you very much.
