He said this while speaking at the national painting competition sponsored by Indian Council for Child Welfare (ICCW), New Delhi and organized by Nagaland Council for Child Welfare (NCCW) Kohima, at Indoor T. T. Stadium, Officer\u2019s Hill, Kohima, Saturday.<\/p>\n
Asserting that most Naga children were born talented in art, Peseyie said education was not only about learning to read and write but the art of painting was also a part of education and therefore children must be encouraged to learn painting as they were in the stage of learning.<\/p>\n
He also congratulated the office bearers\u2019 of NCCW for organizing such programme for the welfare of children through which some children had received prizes at national level earlier. <\/p>\n
Congratulating the winners of the competition, Peseyie noted that for the past few years the state representatives missed out winning prizes at national level and said it could be due to lack of encouragement. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, releasing the souvenir to mark silver jubilee celebration of Nagaland Council for Child Welfare (NCCW), the minister expressed his hope that the souvenir would highlight the activities of NCCW during the past 25 years.<\/p>\n
Secretary to government of Nagaland, social welfare Kohima, T. Kiheto Sema who was the guest of honour in his brief note highlighted on the activities of NSCCW and said child right commission was introduced and that notifications would be issued within this month.<\/p>\n
