He advised the students to work with full determination and self confidence to attain the desired target of life. The present youngsters should manage to contribute their part while rectifying the wrong systems prevailing in society when they get matured, he said.
Dr. Thangjam Homen, Asst. Prof., MB College said that the primary aim of education doesn’t mean to get a white collar job, but to inculcate or develop logical thinking among men. Students should have a conceptual clarity on why they are learning education.
Nowadays, getting government job in Manipur have become a matter of luck with many unemployed youths are on the rise and competitions becoming high. Despite all this fact, students should not lost heart. There are many job opportunities to lead a respectable living. What is the most needed thing is the quality of “fully educated and competent” which every student should posses so that they can develop a power of logistic thinking to find out better ways in life, he said.
Prof. Ibohal Meitei, MIMS, Manipur University said that it is just within few frictions of seconds only that an athlete wins a 100 mts splinter race. Time is very precious but we don’t care for wasting time. Life is competitive alike the athletes compete to win in a race. Success is not possible to those who waste time unused.
While choosing career, students should find out the weak and strong points he or she has. Identified weak points should be converted to strong points. He advised the students to expand their vision in the back drop of the Act east policy.
“Kerala state in India is developing in economy although the state has no rich resource mobilization except some sectors like tourism and fishery sector. It is because that most of the educated people of the state working many foreign countries like Dubai, Middle East and Gulf countries are bringing in much foreign exchange money to their home state. Keeping this in view, Manipuri youths should also think of working in foreign countries to contribute to the state economy”, Ibohal said.
Architect Mangi said that although architecture is an exciting profession, there is less scope for income earning through this profession in the state. An architect usually takes much time and energy to give a well designed drawing. However, local people are unwilling to pay much to the extent of what a professional architect expects. Some of my fellow architects living outside have earned good income through the profession but I am still poor. I can’t even give a finishing touch to my house which began construction 20 years back, said Mangi. Someday, this profession will have bigger scope, added he. 70 years old retired Architect Mangi was the man who designed famous western Kangla gate, Nupi Lal complex, Kanglasha installed inside Kangla, Hotel Imphal, Hotel Mass, Imphal west DC office, Sanamahi Kiyong being constructed at Nongmaiching hill and other important buildings to his credit.
