Governor of Nagaland P B Acharya today said the Naga people need to realise that the worst enemy for development are insurgency and corruption.
"Corruption has diluted the Naga culture and it is high time to change our mindset, for to bring about a change in the Naga society, only Nagas can do it," Acharya said at a civic reception given to him at the Town Hall in Mokokchung district.
Talking about the Naga political issue, the Governor said at present the Nagas were going through a crucial hour where peace was the pre-requisite for any solution.
Acharya said the political dialogue between the Centre and NSCN (IM) was going in the right direction.
The Governor while reiterating on the development issues in the state, said central funds should be well monitored so that the beneficiaries get their benefits.
Lamenting on the poor infrastructure in the state, he said in most of the district hospitals there were less patients as compared to the capacity and those who have to move to other hospitals experience immense hardships due to pathetic road connectivity.
The Governor said the basic foundation for a society is education, as education empowers the society.
The Governor further emphasising on the need to explore the natural resources and set up industries to solve the unemployment problem in the state.
