East Shillong MLA Mazel Ampareen Lyngdoh who attened the programme as the chief guest mentioned that one must keep on updating oneself and not be close-minded for knowledge. She also said that if all the degrees cannot change a person’s mindset, then it is not of much use. Our country has enough jobs for young people, but one must venture into new avenues. She motivated the younger generation to work hard and take up exciting job roles in the private sector and asked everyone to follow their dreams.
