Takowati, Pastor of Ungma Baptist Church, inaugurated the centre and led the dedicatory prayer. He emphasized the significance of certified computer training, which typically completes within months or a year, and is essential for competitive exams. He noted that previously, students from the district had to travel to Kohima and Dimapur for such training, but now, with the establishment of computer training centres in the district, accessibility has increased, benefiting students, parents, and the community at large while reducing expenditure.
The Pastor appreciated the two proprietors of the centre, namely Zulumanen Jamir and Shiluzenba Imsong, both hailing from Ungma Village, for the commendable initiative they have started. He encouraged them by saying, “Make it an initiative that is trusted by the people, which is very important,” and urged them to work diligently.
