DIMAPUR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2017 ‘High time we proactively act instead of being reactive’ One arrested in taxi driver murder case Sundays open for business Over 123,000 Rohingya refugees enter Bangladesh Nagaland government honours 16 school teachers on the occasion of Teachers’ Day; declares Sep. 6 holiday for schools E ASTERN M IRROR Our Correspondent Kohima, Sep. 5 (EMN): While voicing concern over the high rate of educated unemployed youths in the state, minister for School Education and Parlia- mentary Affairs, Tokheho Yepthomi has urged the teaching community to ‘proactively act’ in the ef- fort to encourage and mo- tivate students to look be- yond government jobs. Addressing a host of teachers and students dur- ing the state level teachers’ day celebration held today at NBCC Convention Cen- tre, (Kijü Kharu) in Kohi- ma, Yepthomi made a sin- cere plea to all the teachers to strive for excellence and commit themselves to ignit- ing knowledge and impart- ing quality education in the state. “Our state faces a lot of challenges especially in the field of education. The foundation we are laying today for the future gen- eration seems precarious to me because of the large number of educated unem- ployed youths in the state,” the minister said while he urged the teachers to con- tribute their best in order to lay down a solid founda- tion for the future genera- tion of our state. “Are we in a position Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.

Are we able to instil in them the dignity off labour? With the high rate of unem- ployed youths and lack of vocational training, are we looking for the cure or just to get a relief from our predicate?” Yepthomi said maintaining that “It is high time we proactively act in- stead of being reactive to problems.” Pointing out the many errors which the depart- ment has experienced over the years, the minister fur- ther called upon the depart- ment staffs and the teachers to take corrective measures before it is late. “We have to come up with tough decisions and take corrective measures, if not we will be held respon- sible in the failure to dis- charge our duties proper- ly,” he said while agreeing upon the existence of some errors in the functioning of the department. “We cannot allow let- ting the existing trend con- tinue at the cost of our fu- ture, even if we have to go against the wishes of a few individuals,” he said. “To rescue the future of our state and also the future of lakhs (sic) of students hold greater responsibility than displeasing a section of people,” he said adding that teachers are the real source of knowledge and wisdom and are the ones who build the foundation of our future destiny. Guest speaker Phe- luopfhelie Kesiezie, advi- sor of All Nagaland Private School Association (ANP- SA), encouraged the teach- ers to uphold the noble task of the teaching profession.

"I think we are success- fully progressing towards that direction. In five of the eight states, we have progress.s Kesiezie also raised the issue of selling teachers’ day badges by students out- side school premises. “It is a shame and a harassment to send students to the streets to sell badges on ac- count of teachers’ day,” he stated. Principal Director of School Education, Smita Sarangi, in her address, lauded the ‘unmatched role’ played by the teachers. “Teachers are the bridge between our past and the future,” she said.

Following the directive given by the Min- istry of Human Resource Development for all the teachers (both government and private) to avail training before March 2019 or else face termination, there has been a new directive from the MHRD. Minister for School Education and Parliamentary Affairs, Tokheho Yeptho- mi Tuesday announced that the compul- sory training has been exempted to those teachers, who have been appointed prior to 3rd September, 2001. Therefore, as per the new MHRD di- rective, those teachers who have been ap- pointed prior to 3rd September 2001 will be exempted from termination though do not go for the training. Echoing the words of the minister, the principal secretary of School Edu- cation, FP Solo has reminded all the untrained teachers to register within the next seven or eight days. Except the exempted teachers, Solo reiterated that there will be no excuse for the rest of the teachers, including govern- ment and private. “For the rest of the teachers, failure to avail the training laid down by the min- istry will only lead to termination from service,” he said informing that there are over 12,000 untrained teachers across the state. Chief Ministers who are members of the NEDA. I am confident that in the upcoming elections, in all the eight states NEDA will be successful in forming the government," Shah said. "I hope in the next annual con- ference all the eight chief ministers will be sitting here and NEDA repre- sents all the eight states," he added. Earlier, Assam's Health and Fi- nance Minister Sharma said that NEDA is an alliance of parties which is concerned about develop- ment of the North East region and making it Congress-mukt. "We are working towards that," he asserted. The conclave was attended by chief ministers of Assam, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim and Nagaland. Of the other three states, Tripura is governed by CPI-M, and Meghalaya and Mizoram by the Congress. Shah said that nothing was done in the last 65 years for the develop- ment of the region. The BJP chief said the party has taken many initiatives in the past three years for the development of the region and stressed on the need to unite the region culturally. "North East's development is the government's first priority. There has been change in our policy towards the region. I am happy to say that in the past three years under Naren- dra Modi's leadership, the amount of work that has been done in the North East has happened for the first time after Independence. As a result of this, people from different cultures and identities, every party came together on the platform of NEDA to take forward the growth engine of the country's develop- ment," he said. He said NEDA will not just be a political platform but it will be pi- ous effort to connect the North East culturally, in a united form, with the whole country.

The CMO statement also re- ported the chief minister as raising the issue of “disaster that took place in the state due to heavy rain and flood” recently. “Immediate atten- tion is required considering the mag- nitude in terms of loss of human lives and damages caused to private and public properties alike.” On the “sorry state of air con- nectivity” in Nagaland, the chief minister was reported as calling for “urgent improvement” while adding that “Visa checking system must be introduced in the NE region to ease the movement of goods and citizens across the international borders of south-east Asian countries without which tourism, trade and commerce is being hampered.” Zeliang was accompanied by Lok Sabha MP ‘and NPF president’, Neiphiu Rio and president of NPF Manipur, Awangbow Newmai, the CMO release informed.

(IANS/AKI): Around 123,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh to escape vio- lence in Myanmar in the past 10 days amid an accelerating influx, the Unit- ed Nations said on Tuesday. "UNHCR is gravely concerned about the continuing conflict in Myan- mar and by reports that civilians have died trying to seek safety," the UN ref- ugee agency said in a statement. Thousands of people, including women and children, were streaming across the border into southeast Bang- ladesh after walking for days through forests, rice paddies and jungles to reach safety and were now crowded into existing camps and sheltering at makeshift sites. Several thousand people were be- lieved to have drowned trying to cross the river that separates Myanmar from Bangladesh. Many are in dire need of food and water.
"Those who have made it to Bang- ladesh are in poor condition... They are hungry, weak and sick," said UN- HCR.
"An unknown number could still be stranded at the border," UNHCR warned. Separately, the UN migration agency the International Organisation for Migration said on Tuesday that it and partner agencies operating in the area were appealing for $18 million to help the refugees over the next three months.
More than 30,000 Rohingya are estimated to have sought shelter in the existing refugee camps of Kutupalong and Nayapara, which are "at breaking point", the agency stated. Other Rohingyas are being hosted by refugee families and in refugee schools, community centres, Islamic schools and other buildings, said UN- HCR. "We are running out of avail- able space," the agency said. UNHCR said it was working with local authorities and an NGO partner to provide essential items for the refu- gees including clothes, plastic sheets and sleeping mats. "There is an urgent need for addi- tional emergency shelters and land as more refugees arrive," UNCHR said. UNHCR urged Bangladesh's au- thorities to allow safe passage to those fleeing violence and to register and document all refugees arriving in the country to help the UN and charities get aid to where it is needed. "We are also identifying vulnerable arrivals, including unaccompanied children, who need additional care and protection," said UNHCR. The latest influx of Rohingya be- gan on August 25 when Rohingya in- surgents attacked Myanmar police se- curity posts, prompting security forces to launch a counter-offensive. Myanmar security officials and Ro- hingya insurgents accuse each other of committing atrocities and witnesses have also reported these being carried out by Buddhist mobs. Thousands of Buddhist villagers in Mayanmar's Rakhine state are also re- ported to have fled south. Independently verifying the situa- tion on the ground is hard because ac- cess is restricted. The Rohingya are a stateless most- ly Muslim ethnic minority who have long faced persecution in Rakhine state. Bloody riots in 2012 forced over 100,000 to flee to refugee camps in Bangladesh, where many still live.
