The Governor said that Mizo youth are fluent in English and have the required ingredients for success. He urged them to try to find out the needs of the country's development and to think about how they would turn their ideas into reality. He spoke about the two upcoming major development projects – The railway line and KMMTTP. He also told them that the commissioning of these projects in the very near future is imminent. In this connection, the Governor threw a challenge to Mizo youths to prepare themselves to become key players, employees and owners of these development projects when these projects finally come into operation.
He also explained how the New Education Policy (2020) has introduced a new education system to promote skill development and entrepreneurship for the development of students. He urged the students to be more curious about this and to be aware that MZU Innovation Hub is available for all interested and keen students who want to become entrepreneurs. The Governor also explained to the students that many central welfare schemes and social security schemes are available for the beneficiaries but that few people in the state, even among the elites in the society, are aware of it. He spoke of the need for more effort on mass education and awareness. In this connection, he appealed to the students to take interest in these schemes and to become campaigners for the benefit of the large population in the state who are yet to avail such schemes.
