Rozelle Mero has changed the lives of many youngsters in the Northeast for the better.
Born in Kohima, she completed her BA from Nagaland before going to Mumbai to pursue her MA in English. She also has a BFA degree in Interior Design from New York. She has studied and worked in many thriving hubs around the world like Mumbai, Hong Kong, New York and Dubai but she has found her true calling back home where she has started a human resource development agency - The People Channel.
It all started when she took a sabbatical from working in the USA and came back to Nagaland. ‘During that time I travelled across Nagaland and met people at various events. I realised that there were so many educated and creative young people with a degree who were not able to find the job they really wanted, just because they were all looking for opportunities in the government sector. In 2003, I travelled and met various rural level entrepreneurs and self help groups and shared with them simple business processes and ideas on how they could improve their products. I realised that no matter how much you shared these ideas, most people who have never experienced life beyond the Northeast couldn’t shake off the dust of the slow paced life we have and find it hard to comprehend changes that are constantly happening around the world.’

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
