\nTalinokcha, Joint Director of NEZCC in his brief address, said that \u201cit is high time for the Nagas to review the Naga identity and bring back the age-old values and traditions for a progressive future of Naga society.\u201d He thanked the resource persons and the Konyak community leaders for their support and cooperation extended in making the training programme a success. He also gave away the certificates to the participants. On the occasion, LT Konyak, retired DC, said \u201cthe existence of NEZCC has greatly benefited the Nagas.
