Nagaland chief minister TR Zeliang on Nov 18 inaugurated the St Joseph University at Ikishe village in Dimapur district.
The availability of quality higher education in the State is awfully inadequate and every year thousands of Naga youth are going outside the State in pursuit of higher and technical education, while there is practically no reverse inflow of students to Nagaland from other states. This situation leads to many undesirable situations such as huge drain on the State’s economy, and at times in unfortunate ethnic and racial issues faced by the northeast region in some metro cities, Zeliang said.
