He said the investment made by the Church, by way of building and infrastructure, is the fruit of their love and dedication. He has appealed the government to review and revise the implementation of RTE to suit to the unique situation of Nagaland.
As it is implemented now, we would produce many literate, but unemployable youth who have not alternative means of employment and then become source of trouble for the society, he said. He reiterated the commitment of the Catholic Church to serve the people of Nagaland with utmost commitment and dedication without counting the cost and requested the people to cooperate with the Church to serve better.
