While giving away the prizes to winners, judges and pioneer founding members of private schools, Minister Taki said that the maiden mega event of Ziro might turn out to be a trendsetter for other private schools of the state to follow suit which would trigger healthy competitions among the students of the state to showcase their talents to be able to compete at higher state and national levels.
Advocating the importance of ‘moral education’ and the need of joint role both by parents and teachers in imparting balanced education to students, Taki appealed the parents to teach traditional ethos, cultures and chores to their children. ‘Our 21st generation children are even forgetting to speak their own mother tongue dialects and adopting various alien cultures like Korean culture which is a worrisome trend’, he said.
Pointing out that ‘survival instinct’ was the most important quality of a human being that makes one fight against all odds, Taki informed that Ziro Valley had produced many eminent luminaries and personalities like IAS officers Hage Khoda, Hage Batt, Hage Kojeen, Hage Shalla and many other technocrats and bureaucrats who had inner belief, will power and perseverance to succeed in life despite coming from village backgrounds.
