IMPHAL, April 20: Deputy Chief Minister Gaikhangam today called on the people to promote work culture, a sense of discipline and patience.<\/p>\n
He was speaking at the 8th foundation day of the Kanglei Economic Development Organisation at the Khwairamband Nupi Keithel no 2.<\/p>\n
There should be no shame in taking up any occupation, he said.<\/p>\n
He continued that it is the income generated through hard-work which is fulfilling as well as it will help in improving the State`\u2122s economy, he said.<\/p>\n
On the issue of non-locals, he said once the people start taking up whatever jobs are available the non-locals will themselves feel the pinch and start returning to their own States.<\/p>\n
The youth should not keep waiting only for government jobs and instead should work hard to stand independently, the deputy Chief Minister said.<\/p>\n
Gaikhangam also lauded the work taken up by KEDO and said the youth can draw inspiration from them.<\/p>\n
In his key-note address, secretary general Elangbam Bhorot said KEDO was established by a group of educated youth on April 2, 2007.<\/p>\n
Ever since then, KEDO volunteers have been involved in several activities like selling tea, popcorn, guarding the vendors`\u2122 belongings at night, etc.<\/p>\n
