Dimapur, Sep. 22 (EMN): The root cause of unemployment in Nagaland is the propensity of people to start big rather than starting from a scratch, said P Tokugha Achumi, general manager of the District Industries Centre.

Achumi was speaking at the launch programme of ‘Youth Support Group’, initiated by the Can Youth to provide a platform for livelihood and entrepreneurship for dropouts, youth and returnees who have lost their job due to the Covid-19 pandemic, on September 21, an update informed.
“One should support self and not depend on others, as it is our duty to be self dependent in fulfilling one’s own dreams,” he said.
