The registrar of cooperative societies Nagaland Kohima organized the valedictory function of 63rd All India Cooperation Week celebration at its office conference hall Kohima with secretary of cooperation, Litrongla G Chishi as the chief guest on Saturday.
Chishi in her address said although the state cooperation department bifurcated from Agri in 1965 but have still not seen much progress like other parts of the country. Observing the lackadaisical attitude of both the department and the societies involved, Chishi challenged the department towards educating the people about its visions and target.
Chishi reminded the department that by virtue of our traditions and customs Naga society was more of a cooperative society based on Nagas’ social activities. She said the society could not progress and move forward economically unless people understood the true essence of a cooperative society.
She also noted with regret the mentality of forming a society in the state was very individualistic and asserted that it must stop. She also reminded that “in Nagaland we don’t need numbers of society, but need quality economic generating successful progressive society and good performing society to change the Naga society for better”.
Secretary urged the department to look into how to strengthen cooperative society in the state, while she reminded that public needed to demand from the department when it was not performing its assigned responsibilities as expected.
The programme was chaired by assistant RCS, Anthony N Yhome while the keynote address was delivered by DRC & CEO, NSCU Temjen Longkumer and vote of thanks was proposed by project officer NCUI Kohima, Ketholenuo. Special numbers were presented by Vüngi Women Thrift & Credit Cooperative Society, Kohima and Vision Women Weaving, Handloom & Handicraft Cooperative Society, Kohima.
