Nagaland governor, PB Acharya, has extended greetings to the Sumi community on the occasion of Ahuna Festival 2016, a traditional post-harvest festival of the Sumis.
In a message, Acharya called for thanking Almighty God for His unceasing love and blessings for the abundant harvest. “Today we express our gratitude to our ‘Kisans’ and pray for their welfare,” Acharya said.
Pointing out that India was an agricultural country, the governor urged all to come together and be nodal agents to reach the Kisans and involve them in various central and state welfare project/schemes for the welfare of farmers. As the Ahuna is celebrated with an array of cultural activities in songs, dances, traditional sports and feasting, Acharya called upon all to rededicate themselves to make the atmosphere in their towns and villages conducive for an all round development. Acharya prayed that the festival bring peace, unity and communal harmony to all people.
