Southern Angami Gazetted Officers’ Krotho (SAGOK) held its general conference on November 14 at Khuzama village, with former MLA Dr. Dietho-o Yhoshü as the main speaker.
Dr. Deitho-o said that Southern Angami was pampered as it was cradled in nature’s lap but cautioned that they should not compromise the endowment. As members of an intellectual organization, he urged upon SAGOK to strive to bear the flag and lead the people of the area, while calling upon the members to assess themselves from the perspectives of “what they think of themselves, what others think of them, and how God sees them”.
Dr. Dietho-o emphasized the need to do away with affluence and excesses and living within one’s means, to help the downtrodden, and revive the community-building traditional values. Stating that the mark of an educated mind was to be able to entertain any kind of thoughts and ideas, he called upon SAGOK members to think out of the box and take ideal decisions so as to move forward and set exemplary roles for a better future.
Angami Public Organization (APO) president, Dr. Vilhusa Seleyi also exhorted the gathering and urged upon SAGOK members to support APO in its endeavours and give their valuable advice where necessary towards a better environment and a better future.
The programme was chaired by SAGOK president, Tuolie Seleyi. SAGOK also elected its new team of office bearers for the tenure 2015-17 led by Nosazol Charles as the president.
Currently SAGOK has a total of 705 members including 544 who are in service and 161 retired officers.
