In a compelling address at an award distribution ceremony in Serchhip, Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma called on the state’s youth to elevate their capabilities and compete with their peers across India. Emphasizing the importance of education and skill development, he highlighted the need for Mizo students to match and surpass the standards set by students in other parts of the country to secure their future in an increasingly competitive job market.
Speaking to a gathering of students, educators, and local leaders, Lalduhoma underscored that while government jobs are often perceived as scarce, opportunities abound for those equipped with the right knowledge and skills. “There is no dearth of such jobs if one has the required expertise,” he stated, pointing out that vacancies, including those reserved for tribal quotas, often remain unfilled due to a lack of adequately skilled candidates from Mizoram.
The Chief Minister expressed concern over the growing number of unemployed educated youth in the state, attributing it to a gap in competitive skills and knowledge. “As Mizo students fail to meet the benchmarks required to fill vacancies or tribal quotas, many remain jobless despite their education,” he remarked. He urged the youth to view this not as a limitation but as an opportunity to strive for excellence and distinguish themselves among other tribal students nationwide.

Lalduhoma’s address was both a challenge and an inspiration, encouraging students to pursue rigorous academic and professional training to unlock their potential. “If our students are more educated and more skilled than their counterparts elsewhere, they will not be jobless,” he asserted, emphasizing that dedication to self-improvement would pave the way for career success and economic stability.
The Chief Minister also highlighted the broader socio-economic implications of his call to action. By fostering a generation of highly skilled and knowledgeable youth, Mizoram could strengthen its position within India’s competitive landscape, contributing to the state’s development and prosperity. He called on educational institutions, families, and communities to support students in their pursuit of excellence, advocating for a collective effort to bridge the skill gap.
Lalduhoma’s remarks resonate with Mizoram’s ongoing efforts to enhance educational infrastructure and promote skill development programs. The state government has been actively working to align its educational policies with national standards, introducing initiatives to improve access to quality education and vocational training. These efforts aim to empower Mizo youth to compete not only within the state but also in national and global arenas.
The award ceremony, held in Serchhip, celebrated the achievements of outstanding students, serving as a fitting backdrop for the Chief Minister’s message. By recognizing academic and extracurricular excellence, the event underscored the potential of Mizoram’s youth to excel when given the right opportunities and encouragement.
As Mizoram looks to the future, Lalduhoma’s clarion call serves as a reminder that the path to prosperity lies in equipping the younger generation with the tools to compete and succeed. His vision for a skilled, competitive, and self-reliant youth aligns with the state’s broader aspirations to carve a prominent place for itself in India’s growth story.
