Naga Students’ Union Shillong (NSUS) held its 56th Freshers’ social meet at Naga community hall, Shillong with secretary, Land Resources, Y. Kikheto Sema IAS as the chief guest on September 28.
A press note by NSUS president, Viyie Kuwtsu and general secretary, Piketoli Z. Muru stated that chief guest encouraged the students to be humble and remain focused in their goals. He urged upon Naga people in Shillong to live in harmony with the local people adding, “people of Northeast needs to come together and live in harmony with each other and Nagas staying in other states should be a living example for other communities.”
He also appealed the local people in Shillong to treat Naga people as their own brothers and sisters. Kikheto said that the need of the hour was to unite the odds and bridge the gaps and encouraged the students to play their part in fostering unity among Naga people and other communities.
He also advised the students about minimising stress to maximise productivity and to be more humble as they go up in life. He said entering college or university was not the end but a beginning of their path to their respective careers.
Kikheto said that the Naga society was plagued with enough problems and urged the gathering not to burden the society more by bringing in their personal problems to the society. He said it was time for every Naga community to admit their own mistakes and stand for what is right.
He lauded the NSUS and its federating units in Shillong for remaining united at all times and urged them to work for the society.
Assistant Resident Commissioner, Nagaland House, Shillong, Pakon Phom also encouraged the students to live upto the expectations of their parents and people back home since a lot of expenditure was being incurred in facilitating their education. “You are choosing your path and creating your own destiny and you have to approach your goals under the fear of the Lord,” he told the students.
