Swami Vivekananda to be successful in life and hinted at the fact that man is the
maker of his destiny.
He stressed the need for education and encouraged the students to inculcate an entrepreneurial spirit rather than waiting for government
jobs.
Chief Guest of the session, Dr Mazel Ampareen Lyngdoh, MLA, East Shillong,
mentioned that one must keep on updating oneself and not be close-minded for
knowledge. She also said that if all the degrees cannot change a person’s mindset,
then it is not of much use.
“Our country has enough jobs for young people, but one must venture into new avenues. She motivated the younger generation to work hard and take up exciting job roles in the private sector and asked everyone to follow their dreams,” she said.
Swami Divyaswarupanandaji Maharaj, Centre-In-Charge, concluded by thanking one
and all involved and echoed Swami Vivekananda’s words in Khasi and English.
