Kohima Japukongtsur Telongjem (KJT) celebrated its silver jubilee here at Molu Ki on September 28.
Dr. Anungla Aier retd.director, Higher Education speaking on the occasion emphasised on the need for social transformation of the society. While highlighting on the status of Ao women, she said that achievements made in the field of academic, professional and private sectors were all attained through self effort.
Aier opined that as culture is never constant and ever changing, one needs to focus on progressing with time and not remain under the influence of the past. She also pointed out that unless there was equal distribution of power between men and women, the society cannot advance forward. “Only when the wisdom and experience of men and women converge together, then there will be a balanced development in the society”, she said.
Questioning that there is no platform for Naga women to express their voice, Dr. Aier regretted that the society was at a loss as women were not given equal participation. She called upon the men folk to deeply reflect on giving due platform to women, where they can have a voice.
Minister of Higher and Technical Education & Tribal Affairs, Temjen Imna Along in his message delivered through his personal secretary, congratulated the union on the commemoration of the silver jubilee celebration. Expressing that the society is at a rapid pace of change and transformation, he challenged the womenfolk to introspect if they were working at par with the progressive society. He further wished the KJT to rededicate themselves in all walks of life, join hands together and in unity prepare for the 50 years jubilee.
The jubilee celebration included folk song by the Kohima Lirmentsur Telongjem, Rev.T Chuba Jamir, pastor KABA pronounced the invocation prayer, Alinokchala released the jubilee souvenir, greetings by KWT president Chubasangla and KJST president Litem Imchen, exhortation by C.
