Standing here in this city of Nagaland after coming from one end of Assam, we realize that education is not confined to textbooks. It is a continuous journey—from one state to another, from one culture to another. Our responsibility is to expand such inter-state exchanges. We want students to learn to dream beyond their own regions through this conclave and understand that education is not just about exam scores, but an essential part of personality development.” Dr. M.

This conclave has given us a platform where educators and students from different states have come together under one roof to share their experiences, challenges, and perspectives. Let us resolve to nurture our students not only as skilled professionals but also as responsible and compassionate human beings.”
Swami Chinmayanand Ji added, “Along with education, spiritual development is also essential.”
