Urging the students to fully grasp the programme’s objectives and contribute their best, “Some of the best ideas come from people like you.” he added.

Highlighting Mizoram’s heavy reliance on agriculture, the Governor called for focused efforts on boosting production, strengthening supply chains, and advancing processing techniques. He underscored the need for in-depth studies to support rural communities and formulate more effective plans, while extending warm wishes for the students’ stay in Mizoram.
