Kohima town MLA Dr Tsielhoutuo Rhütso while addressing an attendance of students as the special guest implored that it is the young people of the nation who would contribute towards achieving the nation’s vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047. He said, we need the youths, ideas and innovation from young people to see what idea wants to attain in 100 years of independence.

Rhütso said under Viksit Bharat by 2047, the government is envisioning to make India one of the most powerful nations in the world, one of the most developed, self reliant, with best medical facilities and a nation towards environmental sustenance and economically empowered country.

For this reason, the MLA said the government is putting emphasis on education so that not only Indians are educated properly but education is made accessible and quality education is provided.

Rhütso said until and unless one has a vision, even as a student, no goals can be achieved. But at the same time, he reminded the students that everyone was capable of achieving ones dreams.

“For that, one needs dedication, commitment and hardwork and a constant touch towards our vision despite ones brilliance or other advantages,” the MLA said adding that the young people were the torchbearers of the Viksit Bharat.

Rhütso congratulated all the winners of the competition and hoped that there are more such platform in higher levels to mould talents of the youths.

He called the students to envision how one would like our own villages to look in 10-20 years adding that without a dream and action today, tomorrow will be very late
