Kohima College celebrated its 56th Social Parting on 15th April, 2023 at the College Courtyard with Mr. Kegwayhun Tep, President, 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 in them becoming a liability instead. To quote him, “Youth has become a liability to our family, our community & society at large”. That they would face the quesiton of employability. That the unemployability of the Naga youth remained the highest amongst 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 majority of the jobs in the government sector. He further cautioned the risk of depression, frustration, suicidal tendencies etc.He concluded by pointing out that problems of unemployability & mental instabilities can be fought by the youth fighting against prejudices & coming out of their comfort zones. That the youth must “weigh themselves” & know their worth as they go forth into their uncertain future. That they must endeavour to make their lives meaningful & 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.
