Government announces scholarship for northeast students

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has announced scholarship for talented northeast students on Monday.

“On Nagaland’s Statehood Day, I convey my greetings to the people of Nagaland & wish them the best in the State’s development journey,” Modi said in a tweet, adding, “I consider myself fortunate to be able to celebrate this special occasion with the people of Nagaland, enjoying their excellent hospitality.”

“Nagaland has young population, well versed in English, in tune with what is happening around the world. This advantage must be tapped,” Modi said at the Hornbill fest.

“People will come to your state for investment and tourism. They will do so because of your biodiversity and climate,” prime minister said.

“I think it is the first time that Indian Prime Minister has stayed in northeast for three days, I will come often to meet the people of Nagaland,” he added.
