Dear Brothers, Sisters and beloved children of Nagaland,

I extend my warm greetings to you all on assumption of the Office of Governor of Nagaland. I am deeply honoured and humbled by the solemn dignity of the office that I have just entered. I am grateful to His Excellency Rashtrapati ji and the Hon’ble Prime Minister. I will remain steadfastly committed to my constitutional responsibilities. At this solemn moment I take a pledge that I dedicate myself selflessly and tirelessly to the service of the people of Nagaland.

2. Friends, God introduced me to this beautiful land and people some three decades ago and since then my relationship with you has grown ever deeper and is deeply emotional. I am grateful to the people of Nagaland for showering their abundant love and affection and reposing trust in me. I look upon my present assignment as God’s wish and commandment to serve you to the best of my ability.

3. This beautiful land and its people with their thousand years of rich culture and tradition have infinite potential. Our youth are among the best in the country and the world. They have excelled whatever and whichever field they have gone into and served. My endeavour would be to help create an ecosystem of optimum opportunities for them here in Nagaland so that they not only help overcome the development differentials with the most advanced states of the country but outdo them. In this mission, I would like equal partnership of our mothers and daughters. They deserve urgent better attention in terms of health, education and entrepreneurship.

4. Friends, never before in human history the mankind has witnessed such a revolutionary pace of growth. Emerging technologies like Advanced Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, Advanced Data Analytics, 5G network, robotics, genetics are the tools of profound change and growth today. My dream is to see the youth of Nagaland at the vanguard of all these technologies for the good of the people.

5. Under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India is on way to fulfilling its long awaited destiny. The people of the country have revalidated and reinforced their trust in him with an unprecedented robust mandate. His mantra of governance, as we all know, is “Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas and Sabka Vishwas”. His Team India is all inclusive – no community, big or small, is excluded. Early honourable resolution of the Naga political issue has been at his heart. My earnest endeavour will be to help resolve it at the earliest ensuring utmost honour and dignity to the Naga people.

6. At this solemn occasion, I call upon the people of Nagaland, specially the youth, to awake, arise and set the momentum of a resurgent Nagaland, a Nagaland that becomes a model for other states of the Indian Union to follow.

May God be with us in our Mission

THANK YOU,

JAI HIND,

KUKNALIM.
